Saving of buffers, from a security standpoint

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am working on a bit of code for credit-card processing, so please keep in 
mind, security of the data is essential..
On part of it i wish to use a buffer, but i wonder if that data is saved 
anywhere on the running system (as a temp file, etc), or is it just held in 
the system's memory?
My concern is that if an error occurs in the processing, i don't want that 
buffer to remain (with possible valid Credit Card data) on the system...

p.s. As with other 'touchy' subjects like credit card processing, all valid 
input is appriciated.
