troubleshooting Question
Storing Social Security Numbers
asked on
Greetings,
I'm being asked to create a web-faced database storing PII and Privacy Act 1974 (same coverage?) information such as Social Security Numbers (SSN's).
I firmly believe (as with everyone else) that SSN's should not be stored in the clear. They should be stored using Hash-246 or better. I am more than open to wisdom on this method.
But my real question is output. If my client wants to derive a report based on said individual, and needs the SSN to show up on the report, how do I get it back out of Hash and send it to the report?
thanks.
