Encrypting Credit Card Data Using RC2 Encryption


Credit card information is encrypted with RC2 encryption technology from RSA. The encrypted fields used in Siebel eSales are shown in Table 7.

Table 7. Encrypted Fields in Siebel eSales

CAUTION:  Make sure that you back up the key file regularly. If the key file is lost, credit card data cannot be retrieved.

NOTE:  If you are upgrading to Siebel 7.5, you must convert Siebel Systems' proprietary encryption for these fields to RC2 encryption. To do this you must run an encryption upgrade script after the main upgrade script but before the Unicode upgrade.

For general information about RSA encryption, see Siebel Server Administration Guide and Siebel Tools Reference.

For more information about running the upgrade script, see the Upgrade Guide for the operating system you are using.
