FN-FORUM: Storing credit cards

date posted 30th May 2006 08:25

Hi

I am sure this subject has been covered before but I want to get advice on
storing credit cards in a site database rather than using a payment
processor.

I know this should avoided for obvious reasons. However the client wants to
pursue this line of thinking? So if we can discount the fact it is a bad
idea - what is the best way it can be done.

As symmetrical encryption methods will need to be used what is the best one
to use and what other methods should be employed to ensure (as much as
possible) that data will be kept secure?

BTW - I am not mad just curious

Thanks

Andy
