Once more, with feeling:
It is NOT an either/or. In the First Virtual system, the credit card number NEVER GOES OVER THE NET AT ALL, which means that it doesn't go over the net in the clear AND it doesn't go over the net encrypted.
I got your point from your first response. The remaining 5 were not necessary. I do not continue to question this point. But I might point out that companys doing business on the net might not like having the details of their day to day transactions sniffable, as you can build quite a good business intelligence profile from that type of info. As can the IRS, FBI, etc. Nor would they appreciate being spoofed... I strongly suggest you take another serious consideration of implementing encryption *now* rather than later, as your current scheme is not thorughly protecting the privacy of individuals or organizations until you do. - -NetSurfer #include <standard.disclaimer>
