What is the VeriSign Secured Seal?

The VeriSign Secured Seal is a trust mark available for display on any Web site that protects its customers' confidential information using VeriSign services. Specifically designed and tested for its communication value, the VeriSign Secured Seal indicates to online shoppers and other site visitors that the organization has chosen the very best SSL solution to help protect their credit cards and other confidential information.

Why do we display the VeriSign Secured Seal on our Web site?

As phishing, identity theft, and other online scams continue to grow, consumers are increasingly cautious in their online activities. 85% of internet users are concerned that they may be a victim of identity theft, and 24% have abandoned online shopping due to security concerns. The VeriSign Secured Seal is an indispensable tool in relieving customers' concerns and ensuring their safety.
The VeriSign Secured Seal, included with every VeriSign SSL Certificate, is the most recognized trust mark on the internet.

How it works

Most common browsers include an indication in the bottom of the window when you are communicating with a secure server:

When a secure server is indicated, data that you send and receive is encrypted, which prevents anyone but you and the server from seeing the information exchanged. The protocol by which this takes place is called SSL - secure sockets layer.

In order to ensure that your SSL connection is to the actual server you intend, certificates and certificate authorities are used. The secure server and your browser automatically exchange certificate information when establishing a connection. If the certificate can be authenticated by a trusted certificate authority, the secure page will come up automatically.

Level of Encryption:

128 bit encryption is the most secure level available today. Some browsers, especially outside the US, may not support 128-bit encryption. The lowest standard encryption level, 40-bit, is still difficult to crack and would require a determined and sophisticated effort.
