Questions about SSL

[dreammaker888]

I'd like to add a feature to accept credit card in my website. I think I can write the part of taking user information and the credit card number.

I have seen most of them will use SSL encrypted security.

Can someone explain the concept and technicality on this subject?

Thanks.

Alex

I notice that although you have asked 12 questions on these forums, and seem to have got many answers, you haven't yet found a single answer worth of marking as valuable. If you haven't got any valuable answers, read faq222-2244 to see what the forum is designed for and how it works to help you ask better questions. If you have had valuable answers, read faq222-2244 to see how to mark them as valuable.

You will find from that FAQ that this is a forum, not a help-desk or tutorial. Try googling for 'SSL tutorial' - you will find many examples.

If this is a real commercial application I would seriously consider using a bank's credit card portal for your credit card processing. All the major banks operate this service, which can be transparent on your site, and provide the security (and commercial credibility) that you will need.

I do think this is the right forum to ask my question because it is regarding writing a webpage to take credit card information.

I had asked question as I needed to and had gotten good answers which I had put into my application. I do appreciate those who share their knowledge.

Thanks.

Then the correct place to ask this question is in the programming language your site is using. If the site is written in Coldfusion then ask in this question in that forum.
