[ic] Encryption and missing fields

[Tin Doan]

Hello all,
 
I have recently written a small java program to encrypt creditcard#.
Once an order are submitted, the creditcard# is feed into this program
for encryption... then the order is emailed away.  The encryption works
fine, but once awhile an order email is received without the encrypted
creditcard.  This happens maybe 1 out of 10 orders.  Can someone explain
to me why this is happenning, and if there is any way to prevent this
happenning.  I suspect maybe the encryption takes too long, therefore
Interchange goes ahead and send the order not waiting for the encryption
to finish.
 
This also happens when we were using PGP, but it occurs less, maybe 1%.
 
Thanks,
Tin
