Kevin is right, however I think you are manually processing yes?

You will want to look into using GPG or PGP to encrypt them and email them
to you. I am not familiar with this, but as I understand, this "function"
acts like a processor, instead of delivering the numbers to some clearing
house, it emails it to you -> encrypted, where you then decryptisize it ;)

IC does not natively store, keep or need credit card numbers, nor is it a
good idea to have these numbers on your server, in a db, encrypted or not.

CC#'s go either straight to a processor, or to you via email->PGP/GPG. I
have passed over a lot of docs regarding this in the archives, it is in
there. However I think they are broken right now. You might just want to do
a google search to find out about this GPG/PGP stuff, for now at least.


that is, as I understand it :)
