Subject: [flexcoders] Adobe AIR Disconnected storage with Credit Cards
Hello,
I am trying to find more detailed information about how Adobe AIR is able
to support a disconnected session. I believe I read somewhere that it is using
a sqlanywhere DB, but I could be 100% wrong on that. My question is I am
wondering if the temporary storage of this information is encrypted in any way.
We are looking at creating an AIR application that will take credit cards.
You can imagine the regulations around that. So I was wondering if there is
any documentation as to the details of how the disconnected sessions are
implemented in AIR. So far I have not been able to find anything. Any help on
this would be greatly appreciated.
How about encrypting them in the application?
If the application is disconnected, you won't be able to verify the cards. Most
websites don't keep credit card details (unless the user specifically allows
it) so credit cards and a disconnected application sound like a challenge. I
can't remember the last time I gave credit card info that wasn't verified on
the spot.
Paul
Thanks
Jeff
