Hiding the SSN/SIN numbers in the Postegre/MySQL
Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2011 9:59 pm
Is there a way that the SSN or SIN numbers can be better hidden? I looked at the dump for the tables and I can see the SSN/SIN numbers in plain-text stored in the tables. With these numbers being pretty important and the possibility that some might install this on a a web server, I think it's better that this is looked into and converted into a Hash value like the passwords are using the value given in the salt.
