The Bible League of Canada's Policy
To Protect Personal Information
APPENDIX I

Website Security

 

The Bible League of Canada (TBLC) web site uses the latest 128 bit SSL encryption technology to protect your donation transactions against theft or fraud.

A site (or website) is secure when:

(a) The "padlock" icon appears near the bottom right of your web browser and is in the closed position, AND

(b) When the URL (or the website's "address") begins with https://instead of http:// (the "s" is added to "secure" sites).

(c) You'll recognize these padlock icons as follows:

1. Internet Explorer

2. Mozilla Firefox

(d) SSL offers the following security benefits:

1. Privacy Data: Is encrypted to and from clients, so privacy is ensured during transactions.

2. Message validation: An encoded message digest accompanies data to detect any message tampering.

3. Server authentication: The server certificate accompanies messages to assure the client that the server identity is authentic.

4. Client authentication: The client certificate accompanies messages to assure the server that the client identity is authentic.

(e) About SSL certificates and certification authorities:

1. Certificates contain a public key, a name, an expiration date, and a digital signature. Client certificates are stored in browsers and server certificates are stored in files called key ring files. A key ring file is a binary file that is protected by a password and stores one or more certificates on the server hard drives. Public and private keys are a unique pair of mathematically-related keys that are used to initiate SSL-encrypted transactions.

2. The link that allows a server and client to communicate is a Certification Authority (CA). Like a mutual friend, a CA vouches for the identity of a server and client by issuing certificates stamped with the CA's digital signature and including the CA's trusted root certificate in the key ring file. 

3. The digital signature ensures the client and server that both the client certificate and the server certificate can be trusted. If the client and server can identify the digital signature on the certificate, then a secure SSL session can be established.

4. Otherwise, the client and server cannot authenticate each other, and the session cannot be established. Clients and servers identify digital signatures by comparing them against the trusted root certificate in their key ring files.

5. Clicking on the picture below will open a new window to the Verisign® website, displaying TBLC's site certificate information.
