Hi Maor,

I am afraid that your question is not directly related to the functionality or features that Kendo UI offers. Security related or data encryption guidelines are out of the scope of our standard support services.

As a general information, in order to send additional parameters (such as username/password) with DataSource transport requests, you can use the jQuery.ajax data object or parameterMap function.

For example:

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: {
          url: "....",
          dataType: "json",
          data: { user: "user01", pass: "pass1234" }
        }
    }
});
