Technology:
Our secure 128-bit SSL server software encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card information. The process of encryption takes the information you enter and converts it into bits of code that are securely transmitted over the Internet. This scrambled data cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.
Once your encrypted personal information is received by our secure server, it is translated back into its original form and stored in our database. Your credit card information is not transmitted over the Internet again.
What's a secure 128-bit SSL certificate?
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. This term accurately describes the position of the protocol - as a layer between the web server and the browser; responsible for encrypting traffic in both directions. SSL is the default protocol used to transmit and receive encrypted sensitive information such as credit card details.
High security grade 128-bit SSL server certificates are used in all leading Web sites. These certificates are compatible with 99% of the browsers used on the Internet today. 128 bit refers to the length of the key used to encrypt the traffic between the web server and the browser (and vice versa).
Generally speaking, when it comes to encryption keys, the longer/bigger the key, the more secure the encryption. Some ISPs still offer 40 bit SSL keys which are cheaper but very easy to 'crack'. Given that every time you increase the key length by one bit, you double the number of possible combinations, industry standard 128 bit SSL should still be secure for many years to come.
