Java and Javascript intearaction

[ashi roy]

Is there a way out to use RSA or some other crypto algorithm to encrypt/decrypt string/text in javascript/java, and vice versa.
What I mean is, if I encrypt a string in jsp (using javascript, @ on formSubmit), pass it to action class, and now how can i decrypt it in my java code?

I really don't see how JavaScript enters into your question. You encrypt on the server, and decrypt next time on the server as well.

What I mean is, I have a login.jsp, on form submit I would like to encrypt the password and once the password reaches to the form controller or action class, I would like to decrypt it back. Is it possible to have javascript encryption (RSA or something similar) and using the same same algorith in a java class to decrypt it??

Why would you want to encrypt it on the client? That makes no sense since the script is visible to anyone on the net.

If want to protect a password during transmission, that's what SSL is for.
