A couple of things:

1) Change the "method=get" to "method=post" then it won't show up on the URL.
2) You can't do encryption client side, excpet for via javascript
        http://my.netian.com/~dubs37/eng_cyber_rsa.htm
        That's a link about doing RSA encryption/decryption in javascript

3) It's probably a lot easier to simply use an existing encryption method,
unless
    you're an encryption expert.
