This really depends on the company about the encryption - some just have a
simple "slightly encrypted COM object", others have their own encryption
built in...
There are companies who take steps 2 through 4 out of your hands, meaning
you don't need a secure certificate or to worry about the reply speed of the
request...

Firstly, for most companies to work you need an Online Merchant account - if
they're with a bank which won't allow it, forget the whole thing!
You have 2 real alternatives (from what I know) that allow you to speak via
CF
CyberSource and CyberCash
Some people prefer one, others the other - it all depends on personal
preference...
