I have set up a webpage that allows payments via paypal. Is it secure?
This depends on what is your threat model.
Below is the data submitted (as seen with tamper data) [...] 1) Can this be decrypted? This string is after all hard coded into the paypal button. a)If so how? 2) What apps might decode and recode this data.
First you need to urldecode it, e.g., `%2F' is `/', `%3D' is `=', and `+' is ` ' (space) after it is looks like a base64-encoded data (you can use, e.g., `openssl base64 -d' to decode it) and PKCS#7 (Cryptographic Message Syntax Standard) can also be decoded by openssl. -- Regards, ASK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps NOW?
