Securest way to transaction a value of a variable to webbrowser?

Question

example code

WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
string securedKey = "1ed9f7e4";

and I want to transfer the variable "securedKey" to the WebBrowser object on the same form. I can do it per POST or GET but its not secure.

I can encrypt the variable and then send to the Web but its easy to debug the application and see how I encrypt and where to send it.

What is the securest way to do something like that?

@daniel How web security should be done in general is a **HUGE** question and depends on context. As for SSL, prefer TLS over it — Benjamin Gruenbaum, Mar 14 '13 at 21:13
@BenjaminGruenbaum thats true but the question is not about the web security. There must be a logic to transfer datas from software to web in secure way and that is all I want to know. (Decompiling and manupulating the application is not included). — daniel, Mar 14 '13 at 21:16
That's a _huge_ question, there are courses in university about it. If you could specify your scenario, what sort of security you'd like to achieve and which part you'd like to make secure (Sending data from your app to the web?) That'd be awesome. Also, if you could specify what you mean by secure, safe from MITM attacks? ETC..

Use HTTPS instead of HTTP. There are other ways, but since you specifically asked for most secure, that's your only option.
