I have only a little experience with it and played around with plone.protect 3.x and Plone 4.3.2, but nothing serious. I had also a lot of addons installed, so I cannot say if there were problems with Plone itself, or an addon. Here are my notes: Yes you can enable...
HTTP Basic authentication (Java / Jersey)
java,web-services,rest,security
That's because the basic authentication scheme is an implicit authentication scheme. Once authenticated, the browser will automatically include the credential on subsequent requests. The only way to prevent this is to open an anonymous session or close the browser. These authentication schemes are vulnerable to CSRF attacks. There are other...

Client side password hash versus plain text
security,hash,passwords,client,password-hash
Most websites will send the password plain-text over an encrypted connection SSL/HTTPS. Hashing the password client-side can be done, but the advantage is small and often client-side languages (JavaScrypt) are slow so you can calculate less rounds in the same time, what weakens the hash. In every case the server...

Is secure to let access to ip-based blocked website to 127.0.0.1?
