Nathan, thanks for the reply I've found in Google that AS3 is able to encode data through Base64. It's good because my JSP web-service can easily decode it. But somethings are still obscure to me.
1) Is Base64 secure? 2) What's the standard model of authentication in RIA? I mean.. I figure out that the process works this way: I create a JSP login.jsp file that receives username and password (HTTPService) enconded through Base64 and decode it. Ok. After that my JSP file put in the session that there's an user logged. Now I can trigger a variety of web-services and the JSP will ALLOW the services to run since THERE'S A USER LOGGED. My question is: Tomcat will be able to restore a session started by the HTTPService? I mean.. is the some complication or configuration in this process?

You can use the Base64Encoder class to encrypt your passwords within flex then pass via your HTTPService. If you don't have flex builder, I can help with the API of that class. Otherwise there's also the corelib.swc - I don't know where I got it from though, probably google it to find it... it has a lot more encryption stuff (MD5 for instance).
