sending encrypted soap message using http call to other system

Here I have a case I want send an encrypted soap message using an http/outbound message to external system for authentication,what is the best way to approach it.

Are you looking to send this encrypted data as a field in your SOAP call?  If so I'd recommend using the built in Crypto class [1] with a shared key.  You can store this shared in a custom setting and pull it at encryption time.  This would allow you to easily change the encryption key as well as have different encryption keys for non-production testing environments.

That's the best I can do to help you.  I've never done it but the AES* protocols that the Crypto library supports should be availalble on most platforms like Heroku.

Well you'll need to find a cypto call that both endpoints can use and have a shared key.  Then you'll send the http call out like normal but with the encrypted body.  This is not a trivial thing to do and without more information about the endpoint and data structure you are using, there is little I can do.
