Actually Juda - I was very appreciative of your time and have been examining and researching some of the methods you discuss. I'm sorry you feel otherwise. Your was the first answer that actually got into some of the nuts and bolts... That is why I specifically asked about how the public/private key system works. I was hoping for more insight into that. (Your comments actually helped me find a great post on this here: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Database/PostgreSQL/Q_21934798.html)
Either way - I'm also sorry I seem to be misrepresenting myself and my ideas here. I'm not trying to get around HIPAA, PCI or Sarbane-Oxley - or anything else. I am trying to explore how I may use their standards to develop something to fit within their guidelines. I was wondering what it would actually take to do that. Preferably without a 3rd party... I thought perhaps this group may have some insight or instruction as to how to approach it. (How to approach the pitfalls, what hardware would need to be in place, etc.) I did not expect "It's too hard" "Too complicated" "cost prohibitive" "legal nightmare" to be the canned answer - from everyone. That seems so short sighted. Defeatist. Unimaginative. But, I guess I am just too optimistic. I was hoping to find some creative thinking and practical applications to a common question. So - sorry I seem to have pissed everyone off with my "stupid question" and "idiot" clients. Heaven forbid someone ever actually ask a tough question. However - you should never resort to name calling just to illustrate your point. That's just plain disrespectful and I know the group is better than that. Again - Sorry I asked. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
