At KozyCorners.com, we support SSL 128-bit
encryption to protect your sensitive, private
and personal information that is transferred
from your computer to our server. This
makes it a safe shopping experience.
You don't need to do anything extra.
All our webpages that you use to enter in your
personal information such as when you register
or when you enter your credit card information
will automatically be secure.
You will know a particular webpage is secure
by looking at two things: 1)The web address
starts with "https:" (note the "s" at the end of
https), 2)You see a padlock icon on your web
browser, usually at the top or bottom.
We do not turn on this SSL 128-bit encryption
for every single page on our website as it will
slow down shopping experience. The
encyrption process is resource and time
consuming. Instead, we only activate the
SSL 128-bit encryption on webpages where you
actually enter in personal information such as
the registration page or order checkout page
where you enter in credit card information.
A Web Server SSL Certificate is a digital
certificate that authenticates the identity of a
Web site to visiting browsers and encrypts
information for the server via Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) technology. Encryption is the
process of scrambling data into an
undecipherable format — ciphertext —, which can
only be returned to a readable format with the
proper decryption key. All our Web Server
Certificates use 128-bit encryption.
A certificate serves as an electronic
"passport" that establishes an online entity's
credentials when doing business on the Web. When
an Internet user attempts to send confidential
information to a Web server, the user's browser
will access the server's digital certificate and
establish a secure connection.
A Web Server SSL Certificate secures safe,
easy and convenient Internet shopping. Once an
Internet user enters a secure area — by entering
credit card information, e-mail address or other
personal data, for example — the shopping site's
Web Server SSL Certificate enables the browser
and Web server to build a secure, encrypted
connection. The SSL "handshake" process, which
establishes the secure session, takes place
discreetly behind the scene without interrupting
the consumer's shopping experience. A "padlock"
icon in the browser's status bar and the
"https://" prefix in the URL are the only
visible indications of a secure session in
progress.
By contrast, if a user
attempts to submit personal information to an
unsecured Web site (i.e., a site that is not
protected with a valid SSL certificate), the
browser's built-in security mechanism will
trigger a warning to the user, reminding him/her
that the site is not secure and that sensitive
data might be intercepted by third parties.
Faced with such a warning most Internet users
likely will look elsewhere to make a
purchase.
Our web server certificate is issued through
GoDaddy.com, and are signed/issued through their
intermediate certificate (which is a subordinate
certificate issued by the trusted root CA,
specifically used to issue and sign end-entity
server certificates).
