How can i ensure that communicaton between my applet and servlet is secure?
For instance, questions are transferred from the servlet to the applet and the user answers are transferred from applet to the servlet.
Java plugin (thus java 1.2,1.3) is not an option.

An interesting feature of Java Plug-in allows you to use the browser https support.
You've to open an URLConnection, in the applet code to such an URL:"https://yourserver.com/", and the java plug-in submit the request by the browser SSL engine.

I've found some interesting reading at:
