If the shopper keys in their card details at home or in the office, surely
they are not encrypted until after they arrive at the WorldPay system?
Using industry standard SSL, Thawte and WorldPay unique encryption systems,
this is not actually the case. When the shopper fills in the payment form
and clicks the submit button, their details are not sent straight away. What
actually happens is that a secure link is set up between the shopper's browser
and WorldPay and an encryption code is requested and received, which then
wraps the order and transaction details before leaving the shoppers premises.
