I've been spending the past few days trying to come up with a way to improve a general security schema on many different kinds of software, I'm a web designer first, and a programmer second, so my knowledge of actual security is very limited, but hopefully google and wikipedia have give me enough information to do something properly.
The idea is pretty well known, many websites send passwords over plain-text to the server where they're hashed. What I'm trying to do is provide a set of tools which offers an improvement over this conventional method.
I made a small webpage to hopefully explain and spread the tools which I dubbed SEE (Salting Enhanced Encryption), I wouldn't say it's ready to be used on production sites, but you can see it at http://see.nodecrash.com Looking for some feedback from people with some experience, and of course comments on the presentation and questions are welcome
