Security

To maximize security for our visitors we support versions of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) browsers that use 128-bit encryption. We employ a Geotrust certificate recognized by IE 5.01, Netscape Communicator 4.7 and later browsers. Older browsers will still create a secure SSI connection at 40, 56 or 128 bits depending on the precise browser version. For more information on browser compatibility please click here.

Encryption is a means of scrambling information for transmissions, in this case, between your PC and our web-site. Information that is encrypted (Scrambled) at one end is decrypted (descrambled) upon receipt at the other end.

128-bit encryption is the strongest, most secure form of encryption that is generally available in Internet browsers today. 40-bit encryption is the basic minimum standard that is prevalent in most browser products. Your browser probably uses 40-bit encryption unless you have specifically obtained 128-bit encryption.
