Essentially, we have a policy that states that credit card numbers may
not be stored on any IU server at all.  Departments are use our central
processing mechanism (Cybercash before, but I think Infinet now). There
have been a couple of exemptions to that, where the card numbers are in
fact encrypted and only stored for a short period of time.
