I'm building a CGI eCommerce store and I'm looking for ways to create
a decent 2 way encryption. Of course in a scripted language, I don't
want my key in the script itself, but would rather store it somewhere
obfuscated such as in a compiled C++ binary. (I know it doesn't help -
much-, but defense in layers)
A .NET programmer friend of mine uses a method that involves
generating a hash from the Volume ID of the hard drive to use as a
key. I like this approach, but am wary of hardware/software changes
that will break my key.
Am I going about this the correct way? Is there a better method for
creating a decently secure 2 way encryption using a scripted language?
Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.
Why are you trying to reinvent the wheel. Use ssh.
or ssl.
