Glad you answered that because you explained it better than I probably would have been able to!
Yeah, the name and credit card number aren't actually stored in the file. It's like when people think we can look up passwords for them, and we can't because we don't have them...but of course that's semi-complex to explain why, but anyway that's how competent encryption is done.
And speaking of which I still need to buy an eInk Nook...haven't had a chance the past few weeks *sigh*.
