netfrugal Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Is it possible to pass credit card data securely from one website to another (on a totally different server)? Basically, a live data feed of orders from external websites, not hosted on the same server where the info is passed onto the gateway? I can't image passing cc info via the url string and expecting that to be secure. for example: https://somesite.com?fname=jon&lname&ccnumber=4111111111111111&exp=MMYY.......... Am I just being paranoid? Or is this ok to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaku78 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 It's not a great idea to try that, it's possible to, but it's better to put the CC info in a POST method than a GET method in the first place, and if you were going to do something like that, you would want to make the CC info encrypted in some way with a good salt.

btherl Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 If you post the data and use SSL, then you have a high level of security. The data will be encrypted all the way through the network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
