I want to put some fairly (but not *very*) confidential data on some web pages. Are there any simple[ish] CGI utilities that allow one to save the text part of an HTML page in encrypted form and decrypt it "on the fly" when displayed after entering the correct password?
I don't want to hide the HTML 'code' or Javascript or anything, just some small data items. Basically all I need to encrypt is a few words but bigger chunks than that would be fine too.
A Google search doesn't help much as it comes up with hundreds of (crap) ways of hiding HTML, Javascript and such which I don't want.
I know I can password protect access to a page using .htaccess (or equivalent) but I'd really like to encrypt the data so it isn't "in clear" anywhere.
