Rails - Aug 2006 - Securing order information

I''m working on a simple shopping cart / checkout, and I''m
trying to
decide whether to keep the order info on the server, or somehow send an
encrypted email that contains the order info.  Does anyone have any
experiences/recommendations for handling this type of deferred payment
processing in a secure way?

You could encrypt the order information using PGP and send it to an
email address.  Then decrypt the order locally.
