Most ecommerce sites work the same way... you browse the contents
of the store, selecting items you wish to purchase by adding them
to a "virtual shopping cart". When you're finished shopping,
you are asked to provide your payment details through an online
form. The question that many people have is: How safe are the
details they submit? If your credit card details are being sent
half way around the world - couldn't anyone take a look at it
?
The Sunshine Corporation of Australia Pty Ltd strives to offer
you the highest level of security for purchasing products and
services on-line.
We have taken every reasonable step to ensure that information
entered through our website is secure.
Our security measures include:
- SSL 128 bit key encryption, which
is currently the highest level of security available, and is the
industry standard for ecommerce transactions
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol designed by Netscape
to address the above issues. It didn't take long for this
protocol to become standard - and is now supported by most
web browsers, including Netscape (of course) and Microsoft
Internet Explorer
- Encryption - this is basically a way of scrambling the information
so other people can't read it - so that only the person you
sent the details to, can actually read the information you
sent them. This is vital for information such as credit card
numbers.
- Firewall protection for the server,
blocking unauthorised or unwanted access
- A secure physical location for
the server, where only authorised personnel have access
