Saving credit card information in MySQL database?
I want to know if its safe to store credit card detail into database.
i started to think about encrypt it using AES128 with separate decryption key for each entry.
But i want to know is it safe?
I used hextobin and bintohex to encode and decode it i did it all successfully but all i concern is about safety.
And what is IV in storing this detail i done all the programming efficiently but i worry about safety what step do i need to take to make it secure.
Is it safe if i use dedicated server and use SSL?
what else i can do.?
Thanx in advance
Don’t. The risks are too high. better use 3rd party like Google Checkout, Amazon Payments, 2Checkout, Authorize.net, Zaarly and other.
EDIT
It doesn’t matter what measures of protection you will take, there’s always the possibility of someone hacking your system (even big companies like RSA have been hacked). If it will happened to you, you might be heavily punished, depends on which country it happened.
