Are you referring to passwords stored for on premise apps or for web apps? -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Adam Mooz Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 9:56 AM To: Patrick Cornelissen Cc: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: store passwords securely in the internet Because then the passwords are sent in the clear from the server to the client. If someone were to MITM they could get whatever password you requested, or worse is they'd get all your passwords. Too much risk. You should always transmit sensitive data encrypted or encapsulate it in a secure tunnel like a VPN. ---------------------------------------------------------- Adam Mooz Blog: http://www.adammooz.com LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/ln/adammooz On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 2:52 AM, Patrick Cornelissen <cornelis () pcornelissen de> wrote:

This way you would only need to store the encrypted passwords and protect them. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Patrick Cornelißen http://www.openprojectguide.org http://www.pcornelissen.de
