How secure is the information captured through CB forms?

Can it be used to capture and store Credit card Info for a suscription based site?

Can it be encrypted with another app?

Any suggestions if CB is appropriate or on any other application to create a suscription based business info site registration form will be appreciated.

You can run CB over SSL to make it secure. All data is stored un encrypted on the server. If you explain your apllication, people can give you better support.

I am developing a suscription (paid) news service based on a joomla news private portal.
I neeed the means to capture the suscribers information, comprising general information such as name, address, telephone, email plus payment information sucha as credit card, debit card or check account.
I wont be processing the information through PayPal, I will take the information captured from the suscriber data and process it through a PC based electronic transfer provided by our bank.
I need a partial "shopping cart" to do the data capture but I dont need the transaction and approval part.
I need absolute security to keep the suscribres data not available to hackers.
Someone suggested the use of a product called mambocharge which I am evaluating but at first sight looks very complicated to me.
I am a designer not a programmer.

All suggestions are welcomed.

Regards

José

I would not use CB off the box for this. The safest solution would be to secure the data with public key and store it encrypted in the database so that the credit card numbers can be only accessed with proper private key. However, programming this with PHP is quite an advanced task.

Here is a link for getting started with php and data encrypting http://fi2.php.net/manual/en/ref.openssl.php
