Answer 1

Sounds like you are looking for SSL technology - in which case it will be seamless.

You don't code it - the browser will handle the encryption by itself.

See http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/144/how-to-set-up-ssl-on-iis-7/ for how to configure IIS to manage SSL.

Helpful advice.

MD5 is not really an encryption, but a one way hashing mechanism.

There is no (reliable) way to decrypt it.

The only real advantage of it is to compare the hash to other data that has been hashed in the same way.

MD5 in JavaScript?

There is no way to do it natively, but functions exist.
