Dear Chuck
Your idea has given me an idea.
How about:
When we actually collect the data, we encrypt it so that it is actually held
in mysql in an encrypted form? Then it can speed up and down the phone
lines in the 'raw' so to speak, but it's still in code so no one can get it
anyway?
We wouldn't need SSH or SSL then would we?
Or is that too simplistic?
Regards
Elizabeth
