Security
One of the biggest problems facing businesses that use the Internet is the issue of trust and security. Many people do not trust the Web and are concerned about the safety of their credit card and personal details.
As a result, on this web site, a thawte SSL Web Server certificate was purchased.
This secure certificate:
- Confirms that you are who you say you are in a virtual world.
- Encrypts information sent to and from your web server.
- Protects information from being tampered with.
Prospective clients accessing the purchase area of this web site will see the padlock graphic at the bottom of their screens as well as the thawte trusted Site Seal. This indicates that an SSL session has been initiated, indicating the safe and uninterrupted transmission of any data. If they choose they can click on this padlock and/or the thawte trusted Site Seal to ensure that the certificate is current.
In addition, credit card numbers are encrypted using industry-standard ciphers such as RC2 or DES to protect credit cards in the database. To further protect this information, once an order has been completed, order information including credit card numbers, are sent to one email address in a secured, encrypted format. Only the administrator with the specified email can decrypt the email and read its content.
