The SSL Certificate has been installed. Customer account information, and the
checkout process is secured with an SSL Certificate.
How you can tell if a web page is secured: First: Check the web page URL. Normally, when browsing the web, the URLs (web page addresses) begin with the letters "http".
However, over a secure connection the address displayed should begin with "https" - note the "s" at the end. Second: Check for the "Lock" icon. There is a de facto standard among web browsers to display a "lock" icon somewhere
in the window of the browser (NOT in the web page display area!) For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer displays the lock
icon in the lower-right of the browser window. Mozillas
FireFox Web Browser displays the lock icon in the lower-left corner.
The Lock Icon is not just a picture!! Click or double-click on it to see details of the sites security certificate.
This is important to know because some fraudulent web sites are built with a bar at the bottom of the web page to imitate the lock icon
of your browser! Therefore it is necessary to test the functionality built into this lock icon. Furthermore, it is very important to
know your browser! Check your browsers help file or contact the makers of your browser software if you are unsure how to use this
functionality.
