Building an e-commerce site using UD 4. Also using powerclimb cart. Do not understand how I can make payment info in form which then writes to payments table secure. (even with authorizenet and cybercash server behaviours) Anyone know where i could find help or tutorials?

well, "secure" is really a broad term... other than having the regular site security (using sessions and whatnot), the most common way of doing this is using SSL to protect those directories that handle the sensitive information... you may want to talk to your webhost about that one.

but think about this (assuming you're using SQL Server or something), unless the DB server is on the same box as the web server... that connection is not "Secure" so even though the form post is safe, the backend connection to the database is not. But that's actually getting a bit radical... even the idea that someone is watching the bytes across the network, and then parsing them into something intelligible is a bit radical, but people do need to feel secure.
