Passing a password with cURL


ukweb

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

My job in work at the moment is to write an API for an application, where external sites will be communicating with our server using cURL. They need to validate themselves with their username and password for each and every command.

 

To make this as secure as possible, how would you suggest encrypting the password for transit, I was just going to use md5() but I don't know if this will allow the level of security that would prevent flaws..

 

Any suggestions welcomed.
