What is a Secure Server?
A secure server guarantees the privacy of your data transmitted by Internet. This privacy is achieved through the SSL protocol, the current standard used by the security industry. In the Internet, security is the result of communication between a navigator that supports the SSL protocol and a server that supports the same protocol. Any of the latest versions of the navigators Explorer and Netscape supports this protocol.
How does the SSL protocol work?
It works simply, encrypting the data that you send through the RSA ciphering system when it is located in a secure area of a navigator. Your Netscape or Explorer navigator, collaborating with the secure server, encrypts the data in such a way that if some individual in the process of transmission manages to appropriate it, he will not be able to read it as he does not have the necessary key.
What is the security certificate?
A security certificate is granted by a certifying body: the Certification Authority. This body grants such certificates after having controlled the correct configuration of the encryption process (SSL) and having checked the data of the company soliciting the certificate. The secure server certificate is granted to a company whose references have been checked to ensure that those who receive the encrypted data are those who should.
How can I know if this server is a Secure Server?
All the pages where we ask you for personal information (name, direction, etc) and the pages with information of the payment are secure pages. Though you do not see the padlock that appears in the bottom right part of your navigator (because our pages are divided in frames and some of them, like the top banner are not secure), you can click on ACE/Verisign's stamp that is at the end of our pages to verify that our server is secure and uses a certificate with the maximum degree of encryption (128 bits).
Who certifies the security of this server?
Our SSL server is certified by Thawte
