I am working on a site that collects hotel booking requests including CC numbers. My client wants to process the CC transaction, so I intend to get the site to send the info by encrypted email to him. I have heard that PGP is the way to go but I havn't done this kind of thing yet.

- Is PGP a good method?
- Is it easy to install? (on a Pair server)
- All experience/advice welcome :)

Hmmm... all seems a bit tricky to me ;-)

How about just storing the data in a password protected database on a secure server?

You can only loggin to the user interface with the password and the data could be encrypted with something like mcrypt?

Thanks

Looks like I need SSL and PGP to encrypt email.
