Your security
Secure connections and encryption

When you "Proceed to checkout" ,"Checkout" and "Confirm Order" information is then sent encrypted using a 128 bit certificate. Encryption is a process that involves scrambling the information you send in such a fashion that it becomes unreadable by anyone trying to intercept your transaction information. Everything in the transaction is encrypted.
