    ASP Form Security

    So I've created an ASP form which submits information to a mySQL
    database table. This information will be downloaded via ODBC on a
    daily basis. Now some of this information is stuff like credit card
    numbers. What are my options as far as securing the form submission?
    We will also be looking for a hosting company, so any suggestions of a
    company that would work with us on getting this setup, would also be
    helpful. Thanks a lot!

    Buy an internet domain name.
    Find an ISP that offers SSL certificates for your domain.
    Buy a SSL certificate from a reputable company or through the ISP (e.g.
    http://www.thawte.com/).

        1) Scrap your Windos server and ASP pages

        2) Rewrite your pages in php bearing in mind all the security points listed
        in the documentation

        3) You need to run a Web Server that has a Digital Certificate, which
        basically means a dedicated server.

        4) Use Secure Shell port forwarding to download the MySQL data

        Altenatively consider using a 3rd party credit card processor such as Paypal
        or Worldpay.
