Subject: Re: [support] Encrypting CCK Data<br>
<br>
HI,<br>
<br>
Because of how PHP works is is not really possible to encrypt data<br>
within the Drupal database.<br>
<br>
basically the problem is that to encrypt and decrypt the data you will<br>
need the private key, so any person who wants to find decrypt the data<br>
will most likely have full access to the private key and all the code<br>
to decrypt it. Even to the point of just calling directly the same php<br>
code to get the get the clear text.<br>
<br>
I would love to be able to do this for e-Commerce, but there is no way<br>
to keep it 100% safe. If they have access to the database, the rest is<br>
available to get the clear text version.<br>
<br>
