Online high scores for an applet?

I make games in Processing, and it'd be nice to know if there's an easy and secure way of making an online high score table for the games. Recommendations?

You need to have a server-side script (eg. written in PHP) which handle requests sending the high scores back to the central server.
Then the applet can also retrieve the list of high scores.

Real world online games (mostly Flash applets) encrypt the sent information to avoid having players to artificially up their scores...
