Hi All, Was just wondering about this, i know that most systems out there don't even bother with this really. Lets say you are storing member information for your website, they sign up enter the info, it goes over SSL to your server which writes it to your database. If anyone gets hold of this database they will have a list of all of your users personal information, names addresses etc. The password is likely encrypted, but they have the database anyway so they don't care about the password. Is there a good way to encrypt this information? Keeping in mind it needs to be decryptable, the website owner might need to access their details for orders, members need to edit their profiles. So how can you keep the data safe from prying eyes, while keeping it usable. Anyone know or have any methods they use? Thanks :)
