This site uses Actinic E-commerce software using it's in built
128-bit encryption. Credit card details are only read by Jewellery247.co.uk
when the orders are downloaded and by the on line customer when
the details are entered. At no time in this process are credit
card details able to be read by anyone else.
Encryption occurs on the buyer's PC and decryption can only
occur on the PC set up for downloading orders. At no stage is
the transaction decrypted whilst it travels over the Internet
or stored on a web site. In addition, orders (including users
credit card details) are only stored on a web site until the vendor
downloads them to their PC after which they are removed. Therefore,
orders are not available online to invite any form of attack.
The encryption is carried out by using a Java applet. The Java
applet is subject to the standard security restrictions which
restrict their ability to communicate across the Net to only the
web site that they are downloaded from.
The following banks have approved their customers use of Actinic
E-commerce software - Barclays Bank, Midland Bank and The Royal
Bank of Scotland.
Summary
Actinic E-commerce software developed represents a safe way of
transacting business across the Internet. This is primarily because
it never decrypts the orders at the web site nor stores them in
clear text thereby negating the most likely forms of attack.
