The secure shopping experience
NuShield, Inc. uses secure transaction and payment technology.
All information is encoded SSL (Secure Socket Layering) using up to 128-bit encryption to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of your data.
The Technology
SSL – Short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a public key to encrypt data that’s transferred over the SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with HTTPS: instead of HTTP.
The Secure Checkout and Payment Process
Security remains the primary concern of online consumers. Thawte, a VeriSign company, allows you to learn more about websites you visit before you submit any confidential information. Please verify that the information below is consistent with the site you are visiting.
By double-clicking on the gold lock on the bottom of the browser (for Microsoft Internet Explorer) you will see the following certificate:
Thawte performs the highest levels of authentication and verification on each and every application for certificates. This ensures reliable trust and security on the net.
That’s the difference a Thawte digital certificate makes. Thawte offers a thorough process of authentication before providing digital certificates. A Thawte certificate and seal will always imply that the organization named in the certificate has the right to use the domain name included in the certificate, that the organization named in the certificate is a legal entity and that the individual who requested the SSL certificate on behalf of the organization was authorized to do so.
SSL without authentication is misleading. It is only half the story. Some low cost certificate authorities offer SSL and a lower level of authentication, which means that the business did not go through the rigorous authentication and verification process. There is still room for fraud with lower levels of authentication.
