I've used the Crypt::CBC process in perl. One thing to remember, if you expose the kind of credit card (e.g., discover) in another column then at least the 1st digit if not the first four digits are known so breaking it is not impossible; however, with a truely random key and a cypher system like twofish or blowfish you should be relatively safe. Of course if they completely hack the box its a lost cause since they can find both the code which specifies the method and the key.
