To provide a reliable means for customers to ensure the security of their payment information, Red Oxx uses Thawte Corporation's SSL (Secure Socket Layer) digital certificates. SSL enables a web browser and a web server to communicate securely; it allows the web browser to authenticate the identity of the web server and encrypt the information sent to our server. When a web site is not using an SSL certificate, web users will see the "unlocked" icon or a broken key in the browser window. When SSL is enabled, the padlock icon will become "locked", or the key icon will be unbroken. If a secure SSL connection is established between the web browser and the web server, the "http" in the web address will normally change to "https." For example: "http://www.redoxx.com" becomes "https://www.redoxx.com." The SSL connected browser will also display the "locked" icon.
