On Fri, 30 Aug 2002 at 10:32, Jimmy George opined: JG:Is there any way of encrypting a credit card number etc. so that it can JG:not be seen when being transmitted from desktop to server? The user JG:needs to see what they type to make sure it is correct - so how do we JG:get cgi to encrypt that at the user end before transmission. JG: JG:I have read some books about it but all we appear to be able to do is to JG:encrypt the received raw number before storing it so that the file it is JG:kept in cannot be opened and read. Is that the limit right now? JG: JG:Any ideas or places to look?
you could use FreezeThaw and store all the info associated with the credit card (number, exp date, address, name, etc) as a string. http://search.cpan.org/author/ILYAZ/FreezeThaw-0.43/FreezeThaw.pm or, you can use one of the Crypt:: modules. http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=all&query=encrypt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
