| Our Site uses Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) to encrypt your personal credit information, including your credit card number, before it travels over the Internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure online transactions.

Encryption
Encryption is a technology that allows secure transmittal of information along the Internet by encoding the transmitted data using a mathematical formula that scrambles it. Without a corresponding "decoder," the transmission would look like nonsense text and would be unusable. It can be used with many applications, including electronic commerce (sending credit card numbers for orders or transmitting account information), email messages and sensitive documents.
128-Bit Encryption
SSL applies encryption between two communicating computer systems, such as your PC and our corporate Internet server. When your data is transmitted over the Internet, it is encrypted or "scrambled" at the sending end and then decrypted or "unscrambled" at the receiving end. We use 128-bit encryption, the highest level generally available today.
Check Encryption
Identify the browser you are currently using:
Internet Explorer
Select Help on the menu bar
Choose About Internet Explorer from the drop down menu
The number in the "Cipher Strength" field is your encryption strength
Netscape
Select Help on the menu bar
Choose About Navigator or About Communicator from the drop down menu
Scroll down and look to the left for the statement that begins, "This version supports U.S. Security with RSA Public Key Cryptography" That indicates a 128-bit encryption level.
Other
Check your software manual or contact your browser software provider for product specifications.
Verify SSL
The way that SSL is implemented is via a digital certificate. Digital certificates guarantee the security of the connection between the browser and the server.
SSL can be detected by a few unique ways.
Internet Explorer
Small padlock is LOCKED in lower right corner | |
Netscape
A small padlock appears in blue with a yellow background in the lower left corner | |
SSL can also be recognized by the https://
(Note the extra 's') at the front of the URL. | |
Looking at the Document Info will also tell you exactly who, what, and when information is being encrypted.
In short, SSL is currently the best way to encrypt YOUR personal information and keep it protected.
