A Secure
Environment
As the popularity of
E-commerce escalates, so will the demand for secure commerce servers. This increasing
demand represents some needs that www.abitmark.com can fulfill.
What is a Secure
Environment?
The two main requirements of
a secure environment are SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and Digital ID's. An SSL server
secures an HTTP session by encrypting the information exchanged between a client and the
server.
Since www.abitmark.com
offers these features, it will allow us to provide for the safety of our retailing
customers' electronic transactions at only a very small monthly extra cost. In effect, we
charge only $1.00 per page per month for this valuable service.
To gain the complete
confidence of Internet consumers, SSL requires our secure host to possess a Digital ID, or
"certificate", authenticating the host's identity. If you do not wish to use
ours (which will be presented to a client accessing the site without its own Digital ID) ,
we recommend that you purchase your own from one of the following Certificate Authorities:
Certificate Authority Prices
http://www.verisign.com $349, Almost all browsers
http://www.thawte.com $100, Netscape 3.x, MSIE 3.x
The present page is presented to you
with our 
non-secure server.
You can also see this page
with our 
secure server.
Before entering our secure site you'll see this Internet certificate for www.secure.net:
Just click OK and you're entering our secure
page. That's all there is to it.
Note: If you do not want that the above
certificate appears before your secure pages open, you'll have to purchase you own
certificate from one of the certificate authorities indicated
above.
Thank you for visiting our
non-secure page.
This way to our our secure page.
