The IBM® Sterling Sensitive Data Capture Server application captures and tokenizes credit card numbers and store value card numbers.
It is recommended that you review the "Planning for secure deployment of the PA-DSS and SSDCS" topics on this information center for the IBM approach to meeting PCI DSS and PA-DSS requirements.
If you want to ensure that credit card numbers are encrypted at the database level, you configure that functionality when setting Hub attributes in the Applications Manager. When setting Hub attributes, make sure that the credit card number encrypting option is checked.
Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation also supplies APIs and user exits to encrypt credit card and other secure information. For more information about these APIs, user exits, and other data encryption, see the "Extending transactions" topics on this information center and the Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation: Javadocs.
