Hi,

I am trying to encrypt data in a table. I found some scripts online which were useful. I would like to know what others are doing in order to encrypt credit card #s, ssn for PCI compliance.

Thanks

We don't encrypt them. Encryption implies decryption is possible.
We use hash values.

Thanks for quick response,
Yes you are right once we encrypt data we can decrypt it to find real data.So you just store them as ### values. Are you doing this to be in PCI Compliance. Please let me know.
