Use SSL and/or Windows auth? If you really think encryption on the ASP side
is the best way, see these articles:

However if the user is entering username and password into the browser, it
is sent in plain text (unless you are in SSL) until it gets to the server
side, where the ASP can handle the encryption...

I found a great solution here a month back. I had alot of sensitive data
that I didn't want available in case the machine was compromised. I ended
up using a free ASP script to encode it in MD5 (SHA-256 would've been better
but I had a size limitation).

Here's the original thread where I discussed something similar (and the
responses might help you out).
