Well, given that I use iserver. I was able to piggyback on their
certificate:
https://rede.securesites.com/
You don't get the this certificate and name ... da. daa .da ..da.
(although my links go to non-secure so you get that warning). It is
easy enough to just put a form there and all is well.
Cost: a one time US$50.00 charge to install the secure webserver
which can be done via a webform and is done as soon as you request
it.
I recently did a form for a secure site where we took credit cards.
No one wanted to spend money so I did the following:
I saved the first X digits of the credit card to a local database.
I then sent the remaining X digits of the card via email to someone
who was authorized to lookup this customer in the online database to
get the other digits.
I have not come up with a viable way to encrypt the credit card
numbers before putting them into an online database that would equal
the encryption via the secure server.
I believe my solution is both secure, simple and cheap but not as
efficient as I would like.

Might is not Right. But there is a lot of Might knocking
about in this world, and something has to be done about it.
