There are several ways you can do this : 1) Hash() - which is one way encryption 2) cfencrypt() but this has the downside of having to have an encryption key on the server or in the code, which could (if your server is compromised) be aquired by a hacker. 3) CFX_PGP - this is a tag that you have to pay for and you need a couple of copies of some PGP software, but because of the public and private keys is a lot more secure (no key required on the server to decrypt the credit cards, just on the client's side)
There are probably other ways too, but hope this helps Regards Stephen ----- Original Message ----- From: "C.
