SSL Statement

ENCRYPTION

At advant-techs.com we use 128-bit SSL encryption, the highest level of SSL encryption currently available to consumers. This ensures the safety and security of your credit card transactions. SSL ("Secure Sockets Layer") basically means that our server and your browser create and agree on an encryption key that will be used only for that particular session. Once established, this key encrypts all communication between our server and your browser.

ACCOUNTABILITY

To add accountability to these security measures, we have a "server certificate" issued to us by Thawte. Thawte is an SSL certificate authority on the Internet. They are a trusted third party authenticator. The certificate is a way for you to verify that you are really sending your card number to us, and not someone pretending to be us. Only we have that particular certificate. It's standard SSL procedure to get a certificate, usually from Thawte.
