About Secure Internet Sites
Encryption scrambles the information you send, such as your credit card
number, in order to prevent computer hackers from obtaining it en route. The
only people who can unscramble the code are those with legitimate access
privileges.
You can tell when you are dealing with a secure Web site in several
ways. First, if you look at the top of your screen where the Web site address
is displayed, you should see https://. The "s" that is displayed after
"http" indicates that web page is secure. Often, you do not see the "s" until
you actually move to the page on the website where your credit card information is entered.
Another way to determine if a Web page is secure is to look for a closed
padlock displayed at the bottom or top of your screen. If that lock is open,
you should assume that page is not secure. The third symbol that indicates you
are on a secure site is an unbroken key.
The Secure Sockets Layer protects data transferred over http using encryption enabled by a server's SSL Certificate. An SSL Certificate contains a public key and a private key. A public key is used to encrypt information and a private key is used to decipher it. When a browser points to a secured domain, an SSL handshake authenticates the server and the client and establishes an encryption method and a unique session key. They can begin a secure session that protects message privacy and message integrity.
