Subject: [Hampshire] Linux equivalent of DPAPI
I am bringing an old desktop payment system up to date to work with the
payment providers new system and also provide a wrapper for a website
which transfers the user to their hosted payment page.

The website is built on the traditional LAMP server. However the website
requires a security key which " is secret and must never be revealed to
anyone and you must ensure that the key is protected on your server by
appropriate security measures such as DPAPI"
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms995355.aspx>

I was looking for a Linux equivalent but there does not seem to be one,
but I assume there must be a technique employed on Linux service to
accomplish the same thing.

The payment service providers are a windows shop and aren't very helpful.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Regards

Roger
