Secure forms through SSL.
Hi,

I want to setup a form on a site to securely send credit card details to an email address. I understand I need an SSL certificate, but I'm not sure how to do the rest of it securely. Does anyone know of any good online reading material on this topic? We want to process the credit cards ourselves, just need a secure way of getting them to us.

Can't find any good tutorials on this topic. Thanks in advance guys.

Cheers,

Michael Bray

SSL = www.cacert.org (free certs)
SSH = Putty (free program)
GPG = GnuPrivacy Guard (free)

Not sure of a free secured FTP program. (perhaps SecureFTP?).

These are all good things to "experiment" with before shelling out the bucks on something better.

I've been working on gpg so the form data is written to the server, encrypted and then emailed to me, but I haven't had a lot of free time to experiment with it.

I'm curious as to what you eventually find out.

Check out this exchange relating to Perl and SFTP:
