How we ensure your protection

We ensure your protection with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) which scrambles your data, so that it is unreadable by third parties. It does this by:

  1. Server authentication. The web server sends a digital certificate to your computer so that you can be sure of its identity.
  2. Client authentication. Your computer in turn authenticates itself to the server by showing its digital signature.
  3. Encryption connection. During the Internet connection, data is encrypted (i.e. scrambled) so that only your computer and the web server can understand the contents. This prevents other Internet users from intercepting the information sent between you and the web server.
