SECURITY
|
We use SSL.
|
| Many online transactions are now protected by what's
called SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets
Layer. |
| SSL provides you with sound privacy protection by
encrypting the channel of communication between you and the consumer. Using a
mathematical formula, SSL puts the information you exchange into a complex
code. Think of it as a kind of armor over the information. Even if
intercepted, your data would be extremely difficult to read. |
| In plain English, SSL helps the consumer's browser
automatically scramble his information—such as a credit card number—before it
gets sent to the merchant. After that, SSL allows only the merchant's
software to unscramble this data. Through SSL, you and your customers can
complete transactions with the confidence that no one else can read, change,
or fool with their payment information as it travels over the Internet.
|
| Since the data sent is secure, SSL is now considered
more than enough security for consumers to do business with merchants they
know and trust. |
| To find out if your transaction is guarded by SSL,
look for the picture of the unbroken key or closed lock in your browser window
(both the Netscape Navigator/Communicator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
browsers use SSL). Either indicator means SSL is hard at work. (If you don't
see either one, or if you see a broken key or an open lock, that means SSL is
definitely not hard at work protecting your transaction.) |
| The easy way you can tell if SSL is guarding your
transaction, though, is to check the URL of the site you are visiting. It
should change from
"http" to "https" when processing secure transactions. |
| Don't Send or Accept Payment Info
via E-mail
E-mail works independently of any security software, such as SSL or SET, and
is not protected by them. E-mail is vulnerable and should probably
never be used to send or receive sensitive personal information. When
accepting payment information from a customer, always make sure to use a
secure browser, such as Netscape Navigator (2.0 or higher), Microsoft Internet
Explorer, or AOL. Also make sure the that your site uses a secure Internet
technology such as SSL or SET. |
