This Web site is secured with a Digital Certificate issued by Thawte, a leader in SSL technology, and CyberCash, a leader in e-commerce security.
About SSL:
What's this secure Web site all about? Web browsers can operate in normal mode and in secure mode. You can tell which mode your browser is in by looking at the toolbar at the bottom of the browser window. If you see a broken key, or an open padlock, you are in normal mode. If the key is whole, or the padlock is closed, you are in secure mode.
When you surf the Net in normal mode, all of the information you type into your browser and all the information the Web site sends to you are visible to eavesdroppers. When your browser is in secure mode it encrypts all the information between itself and the server. Encrypted information looks like meaningless garbage to eavesdroppers, so your personal information is secure.
Sherpani.us's Digital Certificate contains the name of our company, along with a cryptographic key that can be used to encrypt information that must be sent to the end user. When your browser switches into secure mode, it asks the Web site to present its certificate. The browser decides whether or not it trusts the certificate by looking at who issued it. If the browser trusts the certificate (as it does those issued by Thawte), then it will encrypt all communications with that Web site, using the cryptographic key in the certificate.
Thawte is a global certificate authority with offices and representatives in more than 20 countries. It issues digital certificates to many of the Web servers doing e-commerce today, and has issued tens of thousands of certificates to people securing their email, too.
