How to tell if you're on a Secured Server

Many internet shoppers wonder if their credit card information is safe when placing orders over the internet, and rightfully so. The easy way to determine positively whether your credit information is safe is this:

Once you start entering sensitive credit card information, look at the address bar at the top of the web browser. The address should start with https://. This is different than the normal http:// that usually starts web addresses. In this case, the https:// is signifying that the browser you are using has successfully negotiated a secure and encrypted connection to the server. Information passed from your browser to the server is encrypted with the latest publicly available RSA 1024 bit encryption. You can view information about the security certificate usually by clicking on the lock symbol in your browser.

TSL and SSL are very robust crytographic protocols that provide secure communications on the internet. You can read more about TSL and SSL HERE and information about RSA encryption can be found HERE

If the URL shows the normal http:// (see url at the top of this page), then that page and everything you put on it is not encrypted - probably best not to give your credit information! When you click on the checkout button to place your order with Wishihadthat.com, you will notice that the url begins with https:// indicating that you are on a safe connection. You can now feel secured about placing your order!

This applies to EVERY site on the internet. Now, you don't have to guess when placing orders - you know what to look for.
