texte = >If I'm following this thread correctly, the only way to ensure encrypted CC >processing from WC/WM is by using Authorizenet. Is that correct?No, that's not correct. All payment processors use secure encrypted methods.The original thread asked if one could, from within WebDNA, open an SSL connection to another server. But that's not necessary, because the browser and the server use their own SSL connections to communicate, so when credit card information is sent from a browser to the WebCatalog server, it's done securely through SSL. Then WebMerchant turns and hands this information to some landline-based software (like ICVerify) which dials directly into a bank network to do its work. Alternately, WebMerchant uses CyberCash APIs (triple-DES encryption) to talk to the CyberCash servers. In the case of AuthorizeNet, the visitor's browser is sent *directly* to the AuthorizeNet servers via SSL, and then AuthorizeNet comes in a 'back door' to hit your WebCatalog server (again via SSL, by virtue of the web server software that WebMerchant is running inside) with the authorization information.It's true that WebCatalog does not have SSL built in, but that doesn't mean you can't make use of all the security and encryption which the various payment processors that WebMerchant knows how to talk to.Technical Support ********************************** Smith Micro, Internet Solutions Div | eCommerce (WebCatalog) 16855 West Bernardo Drive, #380 | ------------------------- San Diego, CA 92127 | Software & Site Development WebCatalog Support: (858) 675-0632 | http://www.smithmicro.com Fax: (858) 675-0372 **********************************------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
