Encryption

[analyst]

Like most e-commerce platforms, Prestashop doesn't currently encrypt very much personal data. Passwords are hashed with md5 and have a user-specific salt, but the rest of the customer data - postal address, email, telephone number - are stored in the clear.

 

Are there any plans to introduce this in the near future? Has anyone already done so with their own customised platform?

 

We're currently developing with Prestashop and see this feature as essential for the security of our business. If we ever get hacked, at least we'll be able to contact users and say "Unfortunately, our server has been hacked. However, we used really strong encryption on all of the data you provided and the chances of anyone managing to crack it are extremely low."

 

If we do modify the core to allow easier encryption of customer data, is there a recommended way of contributing the code back to the Prestashop core project for possible inclusion in later releases? That would make our lives easier, and hopefully help out by giving something back.

Encryption is the detail of the subscription and the breaking of sort of the system updating character making situation. The browse has the complete strength of making the ukwritings reviews from the analyst community and the analysis way of creating difficulty.

I'm reviving this old topic as no answer was given.

It's 2021 and it more than ever relevant to be able to easily ensure the protection of user data.

Has anyone done PII encryption?

What's the point of encryption?

You need a postal address to print the label.

You need an email address to send confirmations.

If the password is stored on the server, then what's the point?
