5) What is SSL encryption?
https refers to the combination of a normal HTTP web connection over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer, (SSL) to ensure
protection from eavesdroppers and hacker attacks. If an eavesdropper were to gain access to encrypted data, the data
would be unreadable and thus, unusable to them.
In the past few years the US Government announced that AES may be used for classified information:
6) What is AES encryption?
AES stands for "Advanced Encryption Standard". This is a cryptography standard put forward by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). According to the US government: "The design and strength of all key lengths of the AES algorithm (i.e., 128, 192 and 256) are sufficient to protect classified information up to the SECRET level. TOP SECRET information will require use of either the 192 or 256 key lengths". PositiveDelivery uses the stronger 256-bit AES encryption!
7) How can PositiveDelivery.com help me satisfy privacy regulations?
PositiveDelivery.com uses strong encryption. This can help you satisfy the
safe harbor provisions for California Privacy Notification and other federal and state regulations. Be sure to check
with your regulatory body to make sure 256-bit AES is approved for them. Since 256-bit AES
is used for TOP SECRET US government information, it should exceed any encryption
requirements you will need.
In addition, PositiveDelivery.com is tested and certified daily to pass the HACKER SAFE Security Scan. To help address concerns about hacker access to confidential data, the "live" HACKER SAFE mark appears only when a web site meets the HACKER SAFE standard. See the icons below for more information.
