All Site Transactions are secured using top of the range SSL Encryption.
256 bit SSL Encrypted Transaction Encryption. SSL uses public-key encryption to exchange a session key between the client and server; this session key is used to encrypt the http transaction (both request and response). Each transaction uses a different session key. It would be significantly easier to tap your phone, or to intercept your mail to acquire your credit card number than to somehow intercept and decode Internet Data.
Servers and browsers do encryption ranging from a 40-bit secret key to a 256-bit secret key. We use the 256-bit secret key, the most you can use, let us explain what this means; it reads 2 to the power of 40 (2^40) or 2 to the power or 256 (2^256), whatever bit is being used.
As an example say we use 128 bit encryption. This is 2^128, this means our secret key which is used to identify your transaction with us has a possible 339,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (give or take a couple trillion...) different combinations.
However we actually use the top 256bit encryption method, so as you can see all our transactions are extremely secure.
