hi all,
i dont know 1st of all whether this is the proper group to put this qs, but
still since the qs is of security i am still asking the qs...
While surfing , using any browser, many times it pops a Qs, especially
during leaving login screens , "do you want to send this information
unencryted form, YES/NO "....The Qs. is something of this sort and if one
says no, then the page is not changed and you stuck up there itself...One
has say Yes in order to change the screen...
My Questions are :
1.What exactly is the meaning of this Qs?[does it mean, can somebody else
watch/leakout the info]
2.How can one send the information encrypted from within the browser?
3.If i dont send the information encryted , what risk am i facing ?
4.It is said Spammers use some softwares to cull out email address from the
web and do their work... By sending such unencrypted info , is one inviting
more spam.
5.Lastly any free softwares which can integrate with browsers and send info
encrypted.
Regards
