Secure Ordering
AA Outfitters uses 128-bit encryption,
which means there are 300 billion trillion times as many keys as
with 40-bit encryption. It is virtually impossible for an unauthorized
party to find the right key, even if they are equipped with the
best computers. Below is more detailed information, however if you
still do not want to include personal data on our web site please
feel free to click on the "Contact Us" button above and
call us.
Note that security features do not
prevent you from viewing nonencrypted web sites or place any limitations
on your use of the World Wide Web, email, or newsgroups. A useful
online tool, the Verisign's Browser Check, assists you in quickly
checking the security level of your browser. In addition, you can
check your Navigator or Internet Explorer browser as follows.
1. Checking for Encryption Netscape
4.0 and 4.5
Look for these two things:
* In the Location bar, the URL (web address) has https: at the beginning,
instead of http:.
* The padlock in the lower left corner of the Navigator window will
be closed instead of open.
You can also check to see if a
web site is using encryption:
1. Go to the web site you want to check.
2. Click the Security button in the Navigator's toolbar. The Security
Info dialog box indicates whether the web site uses encryption.
3. If it does, click the Open Page Info button to display more information
about the site's security features, including the type of encryption
used.
2. Checking for Encryption Internet
Explorer 4.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0
tells you when encryption is in use by displaying a padlock icon
in the bar at the bottom of the IE window.
With IE 4.0, you can find out a
web site's encryption level:
1. Go to the web site you want to check.
2. Right-click on the web site's page and select Properties.
3. Click the Certificates button.
4. In the Fields box, select "Encryption type." The Details
box shows you the level of encryption (40-bit or 128-bit).
