Encryption in Web dynpro application

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have application built using ABAP webdynpro. Is there any way in which I can encrypt the data on the browser itself before sending it to my webdynpro application. I do not want my data to travel through a unsecure channel from browser to Web dynpro application. I do not want to use HTTPS connection.

Let me know if there is any alternate way.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Thomas,

If I could use HTTPS I would have not asked the question. I know HTTPS would do things I want but there are some other complications. If you know alternate way kindly suggest, if not some one will do so if they know

Thanks,

Priya

I don't know what kind of "complications" you have with HTTPS, but I recommend that you work them out. Even if by some miracle you found something that actually worked with Web Dynpro (which seems highly doubtful given the closed rendering engine), it certainly wouldn't be a solution supported by SAP. Nor would it be likely to work when running within the Portal or the NetWeaver Business Client. I realize that you asked because you wanted to avoid HTTPS for some reason, but I was telling you to seriously reconsider that. HTTPS is the correct and supported answer to your requirement.

>I do not want to use HTTPS connection.

What do you mean you don't want to use HTTPS? That's exactly the technology you should use for what you describe. What in the world would you want to use as an alternative? And why not just use the industry standard solution for such a thing?
