    A user enters personal information into a mail form, they select "Submit" and the information travels securely to the web site database. How can I make that secure?

    Securing form means two situations:

    1. Traffic is not interceptable via sniffer
    2. User's data must not contain evil strings to make the site havoc

    For each, there are different solutions.
