Back-Talk and Passwords in the Clear

Dec 6 21:49 UTC 2004

I seem to remember a discussion about Back-Talk and sending passwords in
the clear somewhere, but I can't find it right now.  So hears my idea:

Store the user-id and password in a browser variable, or cookie.  When
a link gets clicked, run a Java applet to use Grex's public key and
encrypt the name, password, and time.  Alternative the applet could ask
backtalk for a one time only salt value.
