Secure Sockets Layers technology
Behind the MackieMack.com and our Verisign Secure Site Certificate
is Secure Socket Layers technology (SSL). SSL insures data
security and prevents decrypting of your information by unauthorized
individuals.
Technically, SSL Certificates, also known as digital certificates,
bind an identity to a pair of electronic keys that can be
used to encrypt and sign digital information. An SSL Certificate
makes it possible to verify someone's claim that they have
the right to use a given key, helping to prevent people from
using phony keys to impersonate other users. Used in conjunction
with encryption, SSL Certificates provide a complete security
solution, assuring the identity of one or all parties involved
in a transaction.
A SSL Certificate is issued by a trusted third party called
a Certification Authority (CA). A CA acts somewhat like a
passport office. CAs must take steps to establish the identity
of the people or organizations to whom they issue IDs. Once
the CA establishes an organization's identity, it issues a
certificate that contains the organization's public key and
signs it with the CA's private Key.
SSL allows you to submit credit card numbers and other personal
information to MackieMack.com with assurance you are really
doing business with us and that the information you are sending
can not be intercepted or decrypted by anyone other than Mackie
Mack.
Processing
All of our order processing and credit card verification is
done on servers using 128 bit SSL encryption. This is the
strongest form of security currently available.
