I don't think it would deter anyone any more than using POST - it's
just as trivial to use firebug to call your encrypt/decrypt function
as it is to modify an ajax call in transit. I could concievably help
stop evesdroppers - but if you need to protect the data in transit it
should be over a secure connection anyway.

That said, I can think of one reason where an encryption/hashing JS
library is useful: for secure applications where you want to penalise
incorrect password entry with a time delay. You can use a complex
hashing script to force a computational delay between password
attempts - sometimes increasing the delay for subsequent attempts.
Might be a little specialised for a jQuery plugin, but who knows?

Cheers,

Hamish
