One last comment (I think). :-)

If you can prevent every security vulnerability except those that
require sniffing the TCP/IP connection(s), you will have created a
very secure Web application, and adding SSL will eliminate the
remaining concerns.

So, don't assume that a protective measure that cannot defend against
TCP/IP sniffing is useless. This is a very bad assumption.

Hope that helps.
