Data encrypting
« on: July 16, 2013, 05:28:21 PM »
What are the best practices for data encryption, especially in a web based environment. We are storing some sensitive information and it needs to be properly encrypted.

The end user will only access the data via https and they will be authenticated .. although I still wonder if that is enough.

Ideas?

Unless on a  VPN, https is your vehicle. 

Even if you vpn, you should still use ssl over http.

Server should be isolated to prevent entry to company network (own public ip).  If using db, then goodness gracious there's school to consider...   :wink:
