Innovative Solutions Group Security

Innovative Solutions Group uses SSL encryption to secure order information sent to us over the Internet. Introduced to the Internet market by Netscape Communications, the SSL protocol protects your personal information by adding a layer of encryption. This insures that your information is not subject to "sniffing" by a third party. SSL protects your data as it is transmitted and ensures no one can steal or look at the information along the way.

This is safer than giving your credit card to a waiter in a restaurant. In fact the Internet is the SAFEST place to use your credit card. Although over 10 billion dollars worth of business has been transacted on the net, there has NEVER been a case of hacker credit card theft by breaking the SSL encryption.

SSL is designed to provide 3 functions:

·        Encryption, which guards against eavesdropping

·        Data integrity, which guards against manipulation

·        Authentication, which guards against impersonation

In Netscape browsers, a key appears in the lower left hand corner to indicate the current security mode. When the key appears unbroken, data sent between your browser and the Web site is secure; if the key appears broken, the data is being sent unencrypted.

In Microsoft browsers, a lock appears in the lower right hand status bar during a secure session. No lock is visible during normal unencrypted sessions.

Browser	Symbol Location	Normal (Insecure) Mode Symbol	Secure Mode Symbol
Netscape 1.2, 2.0 and 3.0	Lower left
Netscape Communicator (4.0)	Lower left
Microsoft Internet Explorer	Lower Right	NONE

In addition to using SSL encryption Innovative Solutions Group uses additional practices to protect your credit card information. You credit card information is never stored in any form on our web servers or any computer connected to the Internet. This guards your information against theft after we have received your information.
