Ordering Information
Is Online Shopping Safe?
Secure Internet
Connections
How do you tell if the Internet
connections are secure?
Many web sites use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt the credit
card information that you send over the Internet. These sites usually inform you
they are using this technology. Or, check if the web address on the page that
asks for your credit card information begins with "https:" instead of "http:";
if so, this technology is in place.
A different security technology,
which works on different principles, is Secure Electronic Transaction, or SET,
technology. SET or SSL technology are designed to make your connection secure.
Other ways to tell whether a web
site uses security software:
- Your browser displays the icon
of a locked padlock at the bottom of the screen (Netscape Navigator™; -
versions 4.0 and higher)
- You see the icon of an unbroken
key at the bottom of the screen (earlier versions of Netscape Navigator™)
- You see the icon of a lock on
the status bar (Microsoft Internet Explorer®).
