Encryption of AccountData
Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2010 2:51 pm
I'm curious how AccountData is stored in the ac_Payments table. It appears that it's in the EncryptedAccountData field, but it is stored as clear text. I've also noticed that orders that were placed months ago are now encrypted in the EncryptedAccountData field. When this happens I cannot get the information out of the AccountDataDictionary object. I'm working in a development environment.
My questions are why are some Orders encrypted and new orders are clear text? What is causing older Orders to be encrypted?
Once an Order's AccountData is encrypted, what is needed to get the data out?
I'm not processing my orders in AbleCommerce and need to retrieve AccountData if my outside process fails and I need to retrieve the payment information again.
Thanks
