SSL - Secure Socket Layer 128-Bit Encryption
The Information You Send To 2ndSite Is Encrypted
Perhaps you are familiar with the internet lock that shows up in bottom right corner of your browser when you
go to "checkout" while shopping online. That lock indicates that the website you are
using is encrypting the data you submit to it. They have to do this because they are
accepting your credit card information and the banks demand this level of security.
What Does The Lock Mean?
The lock means that the information you send to the server is scrambled millions of times
so if a hacker were "listening" to that information as it goes from your computer to 2ndSite,
it is indecipherable. 2ndSite relies on Geotrust for its SSL Certificate needs. Geotrust is
the second largest and fastest growing SSL provider in the market. They provide 2ndSite with
"key" and "certificates". These are the two necessary parts of the SSL security chain. One
part is used to scramble the data you send, the other unscrambles! With 128-bit SSL encryption
- like what 2ndSite uses - all the data you enter using 2ndSite is scrambled millions of times
ensuring your data makes it safely from your computer to 2ndSite firewall protected servers.
