Forward: This turned out to be an ad, but it was sincerely started as a helpful suggestion. It's tough to offer solutions to problems without sounding like you're hawking warez... Thanks for bearing with me.
I have no idea if this will help yet, but NebulaSecure is a component which was just written for NebulaPay payment processing software. The intent was to eliminate, over a local intranet, the need for certs and other complexities of SSL, at least for the v1.0 of our software. Make no mistake, the credit/debit card data going over the internet is fully protected with 1024 bit encrypytion, but over the local network we just wanted enough security to keep data away from prying eyes, and to simplify the local admin requirements. NebulaSecure protects any text data between the MV app and a remote client. You call a program, get the encrypted data, pass it however you want to the remote VB program which runs a compatible decryption algorithm. The same function is performed in reverse. It's very elegant, and I will provide limited insight into the encryption mechanisms to confirm to curious colleagues that it's cryptographically secure as well. We intend to release periodic modules over time which include completely different encrpyption algorithms, in case any specific ones are cracked. The application code at both ends need not be concerned with which algorithm is being used, that negotiation is handled internally. Compromised algorithms will simply be retired. Related to UniObjects, this won't work with the Read/Write methods which work on raw data. It could only be used through a Subroutine.Call operation, where the args to/from the sub are encrypted strings. Consider that not all data needs to be secure, so this might be a good for sites where VPN or IPSEC aren't practical. Encrypting too much can be create a performance burden as well. NebulaSecure is in Beta as part of NebulaPay, but will be available as a separate product offering in September. All of this code is currently available only for D3 and mvBASE, but I trust some U2 sites need to process credit cards too, and plan to port within the next couple months.
