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? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/48703-passing-credit-card-data-via-url/ 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.
