Security
SSL Compatability

The web presents a unique set of security issues for online merchants. Customers will provide personal information, such as credit card numbers, only if they are confident that the information will remain secure.

In the anonymous world of the web, customers and web merchants must deal with a new array of faceless dangers which pose the threat of fraud, service disruption, lost sales, theft of confidential information, and most damaging of all, loss of your customers' trust.

Fortunately, the most important thing you can do to secure your e-commerce site is also the simplest: Just install an electronic file called a digital certificate on your web server. Digital certificates are a kind of online passport issued by a trusted third party, a certificate authority, who verifies the identity of the certificate's holder.

Digital certificates authenticate that their holders - people, web sites, and even network resources - are truly who and what they claim to be, and protect data exchanged online from intrusion. They are tamper-proof and cannot be forged.

When Eastland Data Systems's shopping cart programs are used in conjuction with digital certificates and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Encryption technology, you can defeat these on-line merchant threats and securely collect sensitive information online.
