title: Encryption of data between Mac application and PHP application
body: <p>I am new to the whole encryption world, and I wish to build a Mac application which interacts with a PHP application in order to access and manipulate data remotely.
  My problem is that I can't just transfer plain data over the internet, as most of the data being transfered can be very private, as well as username and password are passed for authentication of the user.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to know what kind of encryption/decryption methods I need to use in order the data will be transfered safely over the internet.</p>
