meman1188 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Obviously use SSL for the processing on the client side. As far as i know, theres really nothing else you can do on that side. You could look at some basic javascript encryption but thats easily hackable. As far as storing goes, make sure your database is protected and preferably firewalled so only your webserver can access it. If you want to go further than that, there are some Crypto libraries that use reversible encryption (i think their extensions tho, not in base php). Hope this helps, and someone please correct me if there are more client side steps one can take.-- Brady Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14475-processing-credit-card-details/#findComment-57451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
akitchin Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 i would suggest never EVER storing credit card or debit card information in a database unless you physically own and look after the server, and it is heavily protected. saving it anywhere on a shared server, VPS, or dedicated server that you aren't in control of directly is just asking for trouble.
