Answer 1

In short .. no.

You can try but I don't think there is a method I can imagine in javascript or any other in-browser way to secure your posted data.

The problem is in the encryption side, doing a good strong public-private crypto in javascript doesn't sound feasible to me.

I'm also kind of curious about the why part . .
