I'd say SSL is the way to go as any technology you employ on the client
could be
open to abuse. Besides, SSL does it all for "free" for you (apart from a
slight
performance overhead)

A client side solution would probably be script based unless your thinking
of
installing assemblies (possible if it's in the intranet though).
I think client-side code should be kept to a minimum...especially when it's
security related.
