How much secure is your transaction? do you know

Secure Internet Connections
How do you tell if the Internet connections are secure?
Many web sites mostly use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt the credit card information that you send over the Internet. when you were shop online. These sites usually inform you they are using this technology. Or, check if the web address on the page that asks for your credit card information begins with "https:" instead of "http:"; if so, this technology is in place.

in other post i am going to tell you that what is the deffrence between "http and https

A different security technology, which works on different principles, is Secure Electronic Transaction, or SET, technology. SET or SSL technology are designed to make your connection secure.

Other ways to tell whether a web site uses security software:

* Your browser displays the icon of a locked padlock at the bottom of the screen (Netscape Navigator™; - versions 4.0 and higher);
* You see the icon of an unbroken key at the bottom of the screen (earlier versions of Netscape Navigator™);
* You see the icon of a lock on the status bar (Microsoft Internet Explorer®).
