Responsible Handling of Billing Information?

moving on asks: "I've been asked by a client to build a fee based subscription service using surepay as the vendor for processing credit card transactions. Subscribers to the service will be billed X amount per month and that is the rub. Surepay does not offer recurring billing so I will need to store credit card numbers and related info. The question is then, how does one best do this in the most responsible manner?" The trick here is giving consumers the service they have come to expect from most websites, without exposing their personal information to would-be thieves. Do you think such a system is possible?

Just fork over money to Microsoft, and they will provide you will access to an ultra-secure passport server, so your clients will have nothing to fear.

Hire people to do it all manually. May be more expensive, but paper in a locked filing cabinet can't be hacked. Automation is not always the answer.

Yeah, and when you take a cold shower, you probably turn on the hot water for 20 minutes until it's cold. Don't be silly Inefficiency-man.
