What I wanted was the ability to encrypt the buttons via cgi scripts on my site. Paypal supports this but on the default pages, their only sample code is for Windows C and Java. Thanks much to Dave and the rest of the authors of these documents for the help.
I added a Perl version of the encryption script which calls openssl directly and not the shell script. I've modified their shell script a bit to make some improvements. I've added some documentation, improved the variables, and removed the need for a temporary file.
The variables for the transaction are in the params. To get the encryption to work for your system you need to following the following steps. Feedback welcome. Contact Gray. Paypal Website Payment Encryption for Perl This page documents my work in using encryption to increase the security of Paypal transactions buy buttons, shopping carts, etc. My Improvements I added a Perl version of the encryption script which calls openssl directly and not the shell script. To do any testing with the Paypal Sandbox which doesn't impact live accounts, you need to sign up for the Paypal Developers Network and log into a Sandbox account.
As said before and noted in the comment by rossum, instead of simply stripping off the padding like done here, you should check that it is correct — i. This serves as a slight check against corruption although this check is more effective if you use a chaining mode instead of ECB, and is not a replacement for a real MAC.
The functions are documented using phpdoc and require PHP 5. As you will notice the unpad function contains a lot of exception handling, generating not less than 4 different messages for each possible error. Note that returning a padding error to an attacker might result in a padding oracle attack which completely breaks CBC when CBC is used instead of ECB or a secure authenticated cipher.

In a specific scenario the local MTA is Postfix and then the message goes through sendmail on another machine , the MIME boundaries get scrambled in sendmail.
However, this doesn't seem to happen if the local MTA is sendmail. I would like to make a modification from my previous note. Some clients prefer a certain order in which messages should be signed and encrypted if both is desired.
The first signing authenticates the message saying that you did indeed write it. Then the email is encrypted so that only the recipient can open and read it. Then the second signing ensure confidentiality by identifying that the person encrypting is the one whom encrypted it, a message intended for the decrypting person. This is the most secure method.
This ensures: Non-Repudiation of message first sign , Confidentiality encrypt , and Context Integrity [you were intended to be addressed] second sign. If you only sign then encrypt, there is no way you can guarantee that aside from the contents of the letter, headers are placed in plain text outside the message that the message was intended for you by the original sender.
For example: Bob signs a love letter and encrypts it to Amy saying only "I love you.
