Visa…Mastercard…Discover

Some attorneys have voiced concerns on needing a credit card in order to claim their profile. Now, given the number of lawyers who have already claimed their profile, it appears that more people are comfortable with the credit card verification than not. Still, for everyone that may be concerned, I want to make sure that we are all on the same page.

Just a quick note from the developer.. Avvo is using one-way encryption on the card number. This is also known as irreversible encryption because you can’t (mathematically) get the original credit card number back again. For example, if your CC number is 4111 1111 1111 1111 and the encrypted form is ABC123, if we ever see “ABC123″ again we know that we have seen the card before, but we don’t know what the actual number was. Make sense?
