:) thanks claude, yes it is a good point, but what if someone was to hack into the database...
i'm sure we are both thinking the same thing at this point 'well if someone is good enough to hack into a database then they will be good enough to decrypt the data if they really wanted'.... but we have to satisfy the people that dont understand information systems that there is as much security as possible and they do want something to answer this question!
