How secure is an iframe to a HTTPS link on an unsecure (HTTP) page?

Asked by kalpyk22 in Secure Socket Layer (SSL) & HTTPS, Networking Security Vulnerabilities, Payment Processing Recommendation and Integrating

Tags: iframe, HTTPS, PCI

Hi,

We are in the process on making our operations PCI compliant. Currently we take web payments over the internet. Our booking engine is hosted on a secure http server using HTTPS. We would like to publish this engine on external sites as an iframe. However the content and structure of these pages would be beyond our control.

Would there be any security implications of adding an iframe to a HTTPS page on un unsecure webpage? Mainly, is there a risk of credit card information being compromised?Start Free Trial
