From reading the archives someone mentioned using a PGP based encryption
to encrypt the credit card number and store it into the database, and have the company that is processing the order have the decryption key on the their computer. Any comments or different ideas on this system?
(I'm a different Jeff) I searched through the archives and couldn't find your message. I'm interested in this also. The PHP PGP tutorials all deal with sending e-mail using PGP. I would like to be able to do this on the server to retrieve information from the server. Jeff Oien
Sorry for the confusion, but I actually was using gnuPG (the principles are the same) my mistake :-) Joseph
