The explosion of e-commerce practices and web applications that transfer personal information over the Internet has sparked an outcry for secure environments. Web users routinely look for small lock icons in browsers, which identify secure sites, before they submit credit card numbers, social security numbers or other personal information.
Several options are available to make personal information transfer a secure process.
These options include Secure Wallets, SET protocol and SSL certificates. This protects confidential information from interception and hacking. The higher the number, the more encrypted and unique. Anyone transmitting important personal information over the Internet needs an SSL certificate. Contact Propeller Internactive or VeriSign for more information.
