You can't trust the client machine (unless there's another factor at 
work here).  Nor can you necessarily trust any of the routers between 
the server and the client not to try a man-in-the-middle attack.  Again, 
  it depends how paranoid you want to be.

Of course, it's possible to *manage* data without exposing or 
transmitting it, as long as your management can be done purely on the 
basis of information digests rather than on the information itself, but 
that's a whole other barrel of chipmunks.
