Title: VirtueMart - PayPal security: encryption
Post by: Philistine on March 17, 2010, 23:13:50 PM
I'm in the process of setting up my first shopping cart using VirtueMart and I aim to offer payments via PayPal. I have previously used Open SSL to encrypt the PayPal buttons before posting and am wondering if this is still necessary with VirtueMart. I see the Payment Extra Info box doesn't encrypt and I also see that the data posted is not available through the source at the browser so my question is: how secure is the communication between VirtueMart and PayPal?
