If you're going from https to https, I don't see why it would decrypt?  Good
question though, I'd like to have the definitive answer on this as well....

GK

the
| POST method.
|
| The thing is, I don't believe the data stays encrypted between the trip
from
| our server to theirs.  I believe the security key we have basically
enables
| us to encrypt information going from one page to the next WITHIN OUR OWN
| SECURE SERVER, but NOT if it gets submitted to a third-party server, even
if
| that third-party server is also "secure."
|
| Is this thought valid?  Or would the data actually stay encrypted
throughout
| its entire journey even when leaving our server?

| Thanks.
