Abstract

The security of credit card information remains a critical challenge, with existing methods often falling short in safeguarding data integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Traditional approaches frequently transmit sensitive information in unencrypted formats, exposing it to significant risks of unauthorized access and breaches. This study introduces a robust security framework that leverages Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) encryption and tokenization to protect credit card information during transactions. The proposed solution is structured into three key modules: merchant, tokenization, and token vault. The merchant module works in tandem with the tokenization module to generate transaction validation tokens and securely transmit credit card data. The token vault, maintained on a secure cloud storage platform, acts as a restricted-access database, ensuring that sensitive information is encrypted and inaccessible to unauthorized entities. Through this multi-layered approach, the study demonstrates a significant enhancement in the security of credit card transactions, effectively mitigating the risks of data breaches and unauthorized disclosures. The findings indicate that the proposed method not only addresses existing security vulnerabilities but also offers a scalable and efficient solution for protecting financial transactions.
