What is SSL and is my information protected?

You can feel safe when buying from the Ekin store. This site is fully protected with an SSL certificate from Verisign. This means that the site is secure for you to purchase from because all data is encrypted.

VeriSign is the leading Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate Authority enabling secure e-commerce, communications, and interactions for Web sites, intranets, and extranets. In more detailed terms it is encrypted with 128 bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). This is the technology that establishes an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. It ensures that all data (your information) remains private, and is what banks and many other e-commerce stores have in order to be credible.
