All data is protected by encryption. Encryption ensures data privacy by adding a
level of security to the data packets of information as they move
along the world wide web. An intercepted encrypted message makes it
impractical for the interceptors to understand the contents of the
message itself.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol was developed for transmitting private documents via the
Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that's
transferred over the SSL connection. Internet Explorer supports SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol
to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card
numbers. SSL helps ensure that your information is
protected during transmission over the Internet. This is the same
technology used by banks and online trading companies when
transmitting data over the Internet
