I am needing to store sensitive data like a Social Security Number in our database that will be used by our web application.

Should the data be encrypted by PHP before it is passed to mysql OR should it be encrypted by mysql OR should I encrypt in both places so that it is double encrypted?


OR you could forget trying to do it yourself and rent a PCI compliant data store. Authorize.net had a Customer Information Management offering that is PCI compliant. Ask MGeary, as he has worked with it quite extensively.
