What California law? I assume you mean CA's Online Privacy Protection Act of 
2003, if you're talking about something else, never mind. If you are speaking 
of OPPA can you provide details, I just re-read the law (it's only 4 pages) and 
I don't see that requirement in there.

The problem with that is California's law... you have to encryt the
data in the database. So the communication might be secure, but the
data isn't if someone managed to hack into the 400.
