If you're asking whether we can use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption,

then yes, Flash piggybacks upon the browser's encryption methods. If you

request an https: address then the browser usually negotiates this with the

server transparently.


(If you'll be relying on this then you might want to doublecheck IE/Mac...

as with other features, it implements SSL a bit differently than other

browsers.)


I'm not sure whether I'm close to what the client was talking about there,

though.
