REAL PRIVACY ONLINE

GlobalTrust supports the Real Privacy On-line , every information you send us is protected by cryptography and spread on the Web in a safe way, by SSL 128 bit channel; nobody is able to intercept that. Our seal is synonym of guarantee: we do not allow to sign any form without a severe protection of the provided information.

Which are the details of the problem?

It should be well-known that digital certificates for Server Web (SSL) make feel secure the user who employs an e-commerce web site (to have access to on-line facilities, to buy goods and /or spread his/her personal data on the Web); furthermore, all the information that the user inserts in registration forms on websites to which he/she is connected to, must respect the following standards:

  1. to be transferred and received in absolute privacy
  2. not subject to interception by anybody
  3. the order, the request of services can not be subject to repudiation
  4. everybody has the right to verify online, through the certificate which validates the web site, references and registered owner for any potential recourse
  5. validation of the Certification Authority identity

These are the 5 crucial standards of security for any organization which wishes to accomplish an e-commerce website or any website with SAFE EXCHANGE of users' data, either they deal with payments on line or any other way of transmitting personal data.

In order to have these essential standards,  the web site must have a certificate.

How to get a certificate and what are the requirements needed?

Applying for a certificate through one of the Authority on the market, it is necessary to pay great attention to the following information:

  1. The Certification Authority must have an accurate, severe and clear system of authentication and validation of web sites
  2. The issued certificate must be a SSL 128 bit certificate; in fact the trade of 40bit certificates should not be allowed anymore considering that they are old and insecure. To go into details
  3. The Web Site must be implemented in order to have information gathered into a SSL session. This is simple to verify since the Web Site URL changes from http into https (es. https://www.website.it ) with the “S” for secure and a locked padlock icon will be displayed at the bottom of the window. (see images).        

If it is not so, every information you will put on online forms ( as you can see from the examples ) can be intercepted, changed, falsified or substituted with other ones, and data can be used by anyone.
Besides who built the Web Site is in charge of causing user's damage and this responsibility can even be prosecuted. The worst side is that users'data can be stolen and manipulated for other purposes ( identity theft ) such as fraudulent reasons .

In order to feel safe about that it is sufficient to click on the locket padlock at the bottom of the window and checking the information related to the issue of the certificate.
