Default Re: Need extremely secure to store information or send it

DevilsCharm is exactly right. Do not store credit card numbers unless you absolutely must. There are legal and contractual issues. Most web sites simply pass the data to their payment processor and do not store it. You can store things like the billing address, but the CC#, CVV, expiration, etc. are simply passed along through the payment processor's API with SSL.
