Encryption keys are secured by Verisign. For more information on SSL and web security, seehttp://www.verisign.com.
While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just "surfing."
