Security warning

It is easy to determine when your browser has established a secure connection with a server by looking for a picture of a padlock or key along the bottom of your browser's window. If the padlock is closed or the key is not broken, you can be assured that any information transmitted from your browser to the server is protected by the security of SSL. The URL identifying the secure section of a site will always begin with https:// rather than the normal http:// .

As you navigate the site, you may receive security-warning messages, depending on your browser settings. Most browsers will notify you if you are about to leave or enter a secure site, if the site you are about to transmit to does not have a valid identification, or if the connection you have with the site is not secure to send a transmission. By responding to these warnings, you are taking the first step towards protecting yourself from vulnerabilities to theft or privacy invasion.
