I would like to enhance my web application by including symmetric encryption techniques using Javascript but I fear that I will lose the performance. Can you suggest me some good approaches please?

3Encryption is needed or it isn't. Use as appropriate. Worry about performance when/if it is an issue. Keep in mind that Javascript is susceptible to inspection (or exploits/injection) and SSL already does a fair job at what it was designed to do. Perhaps provide more information in the question? – May 12 '11 at 10:10

Encryption requires CPU time. You will sacrifice performance. You need to determine how much is too much and profile.
Why aren't you using HTTPS ?
