This plugin is an alternative to SSL. It uses RSA to encrypt passwords or any other data you want in your component.
It is necessary to have the bcmath extension
Works with Signal Login, JTP Horizontal Login, PWC Login, Inline Login and vtj login modules.
For other Joomla extensions, like Alpha Registration, Community Builder, Core Design Login Module, Yoo Login, YJ Pop Login Module you can find plugins at http://www.ratmilwebsolutions.com/downloads/encryption-plugins.html.
No need to set up. Just install it and install the required plugins.
Work with native Joomla forms and with many external login modules. You can try to make encrypted any form if fact, just check out docs.
Unfortunately does not support BT Login extension yet.
But anyway great way to protect passwords and SSL alternative.

Hi, metaflow.
I still have integration with BT Login in my todo list.
This one is a must for every site. It works nicely in the background and hopefully avoids any attacks via the passwords. One more barrier against the jokers on the net who are intent on destroying your work. Thanks very much.
Perfect solution for our needs. We are now running this on every website we have. Thank you so much for your hard work on this extension!
Thank you developer may God bless you :)Thank u developer may God bless you :)
This extension is great and the support for it superb. I used it because I was getting reports of clear text passwords being visible in the html code being returned from the server. As a newbie I wasn't sure where to start but I wanted to ensure that passwords were encrypted so that security was not compromised even if other user details were returned.
My initial results were disappointing as I was using the extension with a combination of registration and login options including JomSocial. When I reported the problems they were addressed quickly. Passwords are now secure from the browser all the way through the system.
The root cause of the underlying problem (other user details returned)turned out to be the system-cache plugin and the original problem went away once that was disabled. But I will continue to use this encryption extension to provide an added level of security - increasingly important with the growth in wireless based connections.

Using Encrypt configuration in Joomla 2.5 and 1.5 since version 1.7 (August 2011).
Advantages: easy to install and configure, integration with Community Builder
Disadvantages: in contrast to the SSL certificate can not authenticate domain.
This expansion - a free alternative to SSL certificate. It can be installed on any hosting, in contrast to the SSL certificate. Easy to configure. It's a pity that I have not found a way to check on how much he efektiven.
Using it to protect the administrative area of the site and registration form of Community Builder.
Engaged in web technologies since March 2007. Use Joomla since December 2009.

Very easy to install!
This component seems to do what is promises. Sending passwords over plain text is simply insecure which makes additional security a must. This effective component easily solves the problem.
Like others here I did not want to spend the money installing an SSL and just needed to encrypt my login information.
Downloaded the Jomsocial plugin and the component and within 5 minutes was up and running.
Great component and thanks for your contribution to the community.

SSL certs are rather expensive. All I need is to secure login/pass info and registration information and this encryption tool does exactly that. The installation on my 1.6 site went without a hitch. I am now going to add this to all my older 1.5 sites that are lingering about and make them even more secure. Thank you for this great tool.
Pros:
The software works without flaw
and performs exactly as described.
Cons: None
Thank you for contributing your excellent work.
And thank you for volunteering. All the Best!

Feel a lot more comfortable now knowing my form data is encrypted.
Really good component, installs and works straight away without any configuration at all. Can't ask for much more than that! Thanks.

Thank you very much for the work you have put into this component. Greatly appreciate it. I was looking for an alternative solution for SSL certificate encryption and this is it! Using the RSA algorithm is a great idea on many projects including my.
I would also like to refer to the @alexishoop comment above: I think that is to easy to judge someone's work. The stats on my web pages show that 98% of the users browser supports java. Joomla Extensions are created for specific purposes. The author does not mention in the description of the component that this is a universal solution for all web sites based on Joomla. I believe that in specific web projects this extension is ideal. What's more, the author provides his work for free. Especially in view of the foregoing should be five stars!
