Encryption Modules Information

[NixBill]

This is a new feature added to NixBill that will be available in version 1.3.2, which will be released by June 30, 2009.

With this new section you will be able to create your own encryption and decryption methods for storing credit card information. You will be able to use encryption schemes that will require a key to decode the information. This will cause you to input your key before any renewal invoices can be charged. This will create tighter security for your customer information.

Keys are not a requirement for using a custom module, they are just an option. You could also use the PHP mcrypt extension to create your own encryption scheme. We did not use mcrypt in the default NixBill setup because not all PHP installation may have the extension available.

We will post a few sample modules that could be used in this forum.
