Hi everyone,
I use a MySQL database for the back end of our e-commerce site. We take
credit as one method of payment and the last 8 digits of the card number
are stored in the database. There is a web interface to the database from
which I can get order information, but not the card number. I also can
access the database through a MyODBC connection and MyAccess.
In order to proceed with invoicing, I need to retrieve the card
number (all 16 digits). I can think of a couple of ways to do this:
1. Change the web interface to include the card number.
2. Bring the information into Access through the ODBC connection.
3. Have the card number encrypted and sent through email, using PGP
(this is the way we did it on our old system).
There may be others which I am not thinking of also. Which method would be
the most secure, or is there a better and more secure method which I
haven't mentioned? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
take care,
robynr
