Login Encrypt is a security plugin. It uses a complex combination of DES and RSA. It was first developed by ELSERVER for securing login in the hosting control panel, and then released as a WordPress plugin.
The way it works (fast explanation): * A Javascript appended to the wp-login generates, each time a user logs in, a unique DES key. Using that key, the password of the user is encrypted. * The Javascript encrypts the DES unique key using the RSA public key (generated when the plugin is activated). * The encripted password and the encrypted DES unique key are sended to the server. * A hook when login in checks if a encrypted DES unique key is received. If does, decrypts it using the secure RSA private key. * Then, decrypts the password using the DES unique key.
