SSL (Secured Sockets Layer) is a protocol that transmits your communications over the Internet in an encrypted form. SSL ensures that the information (such as credit card number, account, and password, etc…) is sent, unchanged, only to the server you intended to send it to.
SSL comes in two strengths, 40-bit and 128-bit, which refer to the length of the session key generated. The longer the key the more difficult is to break the encryption code. Mytrans takes 128-bit encryption which is approximately 3x1026 stronger than 40-bit encryption.
Two ways to verify that a certain page on a web site is using SSL:
1) look at the URL (if the page uses SSL the URL starts with https:// instead of http://)
2) look at the bottom bar of the browser (if a 'closed lock' is displayed, SSL has been enabled).
When you have online transactions with a reliable website like Mytrans, SSL safeguards your personal information.
