tqla Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm creating a php form to email. One of the fields is sensitive. It's a field for a Social Security number. Is there a way to encrypt this one field for the trip and then unencrypt it when it gets to the email address?

trq Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 You can't do anything on the client, so can't decrypt anything on there end. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/99989-solved-encryption-help/#findComment-511312 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to encrypt this one field for the trip and then unencrypt it when it gets to the email address? ask yourself why sensitive material needs a permeate fingerprint outside the realm of your database?

tqla Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thought so. The customer requested this but I don't like the idea. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/99989-solved-encryption-help/#findComment-511334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 anything sensitive like passwords CC numbers ssn etc. shouldn't be passed around, especially if you can't verify their mail box's security. That data really should only exist on a private network off the internet or be handled by a professional like paypal. I hear people want to protect credit card numbers so often when paypal can handle it extremely easily and integrate seamlessly and provide protect to the end user that is needed.
