10:52 AM - Progress Report
The semester ended and I'm ready to work on JJ again. Last night I began work on the login system to transmit encrypted versions of the password using javascript. While its not as secure as using SSL, it should make logins a little safer.
The reason JJ does not use SSL is because I don't have the money for an SSL certificate (49-500 dollars) and more importantly I don't have the money for a seperate IP address for JJ on the server. I may end up setting up a free certificate for JJ on the current IP, but I was saving it for another site.
Regardless if i can get SSL enabled JJ, the password hashing feature is useful.
