When you place an
order, give us registration or personal information
of any kind your transactions are fully encrypted
for your security and protection. Encryption is a
process that involves scrambling the information
you send in such a fashion that it becomes
unreadable by anyone trying to intercept your
transaction information. Everything in the
transaction is encrypted, your name, address,
credit card number, everything. It can only be read
by iBuyNW's server and no one else.
You will also see the Verisign symbol indicating
that the iBuyNW site is a Verisign Secure Site.
Verisign is a DIgital Certificate Authority that
provides authentication allowing internet merchants
and others a means to assure internet customers
that they are who they say they are.
ibuyNW uses the
highest level of encryption on its servers --
128-bit encryption. This is the same level of
encryption that is used by Banks and Financial
Institutions on the Internet to process their
transmissions. While iBuyNW does not require you to
have a 128-bit capable browser to use our services
-- we strongly recommend that you do. It only takes
a few minutes to upgrade to 128-bit encryption from
40-bit and the level of security you obtain is well
worth it. If you don't know what level you have,
try the link below. It only allows 128-bit
encryption enabled browsers to connect to the page.
If you receive a message that you cannot connect
because your web browser only has 40-bit
encryption, we suggest you upgrade as soon as
possible.
We also use SSL
(Secure Sockets Layer) encryption protocol
technology. SSL is the most powerful form of
encryption available on the Internet. SSL
encryption protocol provides for security like
Server Authentication and Data Integrity. SSL not
only ensures that the information being transmitted
is encrypted but it also performs such security
functions such as verifying the identity of the
server and ensuring that the transmission arrives
at its proper destination.
