RAW XML encryption #218

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
Is there a way elmah can encrypt the raw xml before it gets stored into the 
database? If there isn't, it will be great if it can do this because there is a 
risk of PCI data being exposed in the database. Our forensics software during 
testing/evaluation easily picked up sensitive information from the DB files.

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
PCI compliance.

Hi there,

Sorry for the slow response.
Can you be a bit more specific about which parts of the XML contain the 
sensitive information please?

Thanks,

James

We solved this issue by explicitly marking sensitive information as such for 
logging purposes, and not logging it. 
Our logs look like this:
  Name: "John Smith",
  Password: "******"
Do you gain anything by logging the sensitive information? Could you change it 
to log something like the length of a password, or a fraction of a card number?
