So just how is secure online credit card processing achieved?
SET (secure electronic transaction) protocol. The SET protocol was originally developed by Visa and MasterCard, along with several technology companies. It purports to provide more secure protection of credit card numbers and other confidential information that is sent across the Internet. In addition, it uses digital certificates and encryption technology that enables consumers and retailers to verify the authenticity of the parties involved in online credit card transactions.
Briefly, digital certificates serve to ensure that the parties to an online transaction can trust each other. This is done by encrypting the messages that are being sent by the parties, and then decrypting the messages when they are received. Encrypting means essentially to code a message in such a way as to make it undecipherable to those who are unable to decode the message. The coding is done by using what is known as a key, a series of electronic signals, and only those who have this key can decipher the message. Keys can be stored on the hard drive of a computer, on a disk, or on a special smart card.
Ordering online from home is actually safer than handing your credit card to another person. Anyone who handles your credit card could be dishonest. How do you know? Duplicate imprints of your credit card on sales receipts could be made, carelessness could lead to a dishonest person obtaining a carbon copy of your sales receipt and using it to create duplicate cards, and carrying your cards on your person leaves you subject to the theft of your card every time you go out in public.
Hopefully we have assured you as to just how safe ordering online with the Inspirational Gift Gallery truly is.
