Thanks all who responded. I got some great ideas.

Just to make all of you feel better - I don't intend to store any CC numbers 
(just used it as an example) and I am fully aware that one should never ever 
store passwords but only some cryptographic hashes - and that was what I was 
looking for - ideas on how to accomplish this.

Again thank you all.
