[Zope] Re: Secure storage of credit card info

Hope I got this right. (Hi Ramon!)

This doesn't solve the problem:

...

you want to save the CC# and other info in case something needs to be done with it later, and probably store the CC# so this customer doesn't have to type it in again later.

I think it is generally a BAD IDEA to keep the CC# so that it can be accessed again. Better give the CC# a descriptive name under which the customer can access it again. The correlation between the name and number can be established behind the firewall on a more private machine. This makes it of course more difficult to process the clearing in real time when the customer uses the descriptive name. Regards, Frank
