AJAX

Normally we have login page with username, password filed and signin button. Using the normal form based approach we send the data on and page gets post back. Now i would like to change this using the Ajax.

As Ajax too using the normal HTTP so i guess nothing in different from the existing workflow barring postback right ?

Now my question is is what all securities issues can be there? and what care should be taken for doing so ? Should we encode data using say base64 or so before sending using Ajax?
