Credit Card info in databasw

[Sam Laundon]

Simple guestion, but maybe not a simple answer. Is there a way to keep a customers credit card information in a database that is secure?

thanks in advance for any help on this.

Look to Nightwing enterprises for a solution

Also look into encrypting data in this forum (do a search for topics)

You could use a plug-in to encrypt the data. Or you could just store the reference code for the card if it's a transaction system.

Hiya;

With credit card security of course, the most secure option is to not have the credit card number stored at all. However this is impracticle if you have to bill a customer on a regular basis and need that credit card number. So the easiest thing to do is to encrypt the credit card number. This is easily done with an opensource plugin calle Crypto Toolbox which you can download from here or from filemakers site. I've attached a sample database for you and the plugin.
