[squid-users] providing a secure basic authentication

Chaps,

I'm currently using a basic auth scheme on our squid caches that uses a
radius authentication module

>From the squid FAQ
"NOTE: The name and password are encoded using ``base64'' (See section 11.1
of RFC 2616). However, base64 is a binary-to-text encoding only, it does
NOT encrypt the information it encodes. This means that the username and
password are essentially ``cleartext'' between the browser and the proxy.
Therefore, you probably should not use the same username and password that
you would use for your account login."

Is there any way I can perform the authentication scheme over a secure
connection

TIA
Alex
