Parsing Data in Silverlight

Question

I have a design question about parsing data in Silverlight. I need to allow my users to validate their csv data (they paste ten rows into a textblock), but I am not sure if I should attempt to do it on the client side where I don't have access to the textfileparser class or send the data to a webservice for validation. If I send it to a webservice how do I ensure the data is secure? Any help is appreciated.

You can write JavaScript function to parse data on the client side itself. It should not be that complicated. Here is the link for the JavaScript:

If you decide not to do this you can send the data to the server and any decent browser will encrypt the data automatically for you.
