The Question is:
Is there a method of encrypting passwords that are passed from one node to
another over the network such that they cannot be read by a network sniffer?
The Answer is :
If you have untrusted accessors (and an unencrypted network), you have
potential vulnerabilities to eavesdropping.
Yes, various approaches exist for obscuring the contents of network
packet traffic. SSH, SSL, and hardware-level packet encryption are
some of the available options.
You can also work to make (untrusted) access to the broadcast network
medium more difficult.

network to meet your needs.
