Encrypt URL parameters

+Pie Number of slices to send: Send
Hi, I am working on jsp-Servlet application.
I want to encrypt url parameters at client side as soon as form is submitted as url can be viewed by intruders in between network of client and server .
Also url parameters should be decrypted at server side .
what technology to use?

javascript encryption is there ,but how to use it.?

Example

Actual URL:
www.mysite.com/Company?compID=111&compLoc=India

encrypted URL:
www.mysite.com/Company?compID=HTUf43HGFYG&compLoc=JHFTF42KJBYU

Before even thinking about doing your own encryption:
1) You should use a form post so the method parameters aren't in the URL at all.
2) You should consider HTTPs so the data is really encrypted.

If you do not need to encrypt the values for the end users, but are just worried about during transmission, just use SSL as Jeanne suggested.

Thanks for the replay..
Yes i know the SSL but in our product it is already implemented..
My seniors want to make it in some other way..
So i thought only of javascript encryption...
Anyway .. i will research some more about it..

Thanks alot

If your "seniors" consider SSL insufficient, then they should have an idea of why that is, no? They should spell out clearly what kind of attack they're trying to guard against that SSL doesn't (or can't).
Arch enemy? I mean, I don't like you, but I don't think you qualify as "arch enemy". Here, try this tiny ad:
