Use a web server and browser that are capable of doing HTTPS
(HTTP over SSL). These are widely available. If you want to restrict the
pages to only certain people you can then do normal HTTP(S)-based
password protections to restrict access. This is also widely available.
SSL-capable web servers are available from JavaSoft (see java.sun.com
for info on Java Web Server) or from Netscape, Microsoft or others.
