KnowledgePoint is a secure commerce site. The transfer of sensitive information between you and KnowledgePoint is protected by the highest standard of encryption technology available on the Internet. Public/private key cryptography enables the creation of a secure "conversation" between your browser and our secure server. While this conversation could potentially be overheard, it could not be decrypted.

KnowledgePoint makes use of a 128 bit encryption key issued by RSA Data Security, Inc. When a secure connection is initiated, our server's public key is automatically transferred to your browser. Your browser then uses this key to encrypt information transferred back to KnowledgePoint. This information can only be decrypted using the private key installed on KnowledgePoint's secure server.

In order to be sure that information transferred between your browser and the KnowledgePoint server is secure, it is important to be aware of the security information available to you through your browser. KnowledgePoint makes use of frames for ease of navigation. When secure pages are requested, they are displayed in a secure frame. For this reason your browser will not display the usual secure connection icons (an image of a locked padlock in the lower left hand corner of Netscape 4.x or Explorer and a yellow key in a blue box in older versions of Netscape). However, to verify the security of the frame you are viewing, Windows users may click their right mouse button in the secure frame and select "View Frame Info" (Netscape 4.x) or "Properties" (Explorer). Those using older versions of Netscape can select "View," then "Frame Info" from the file menu at the top of their window.

When viewing security information, be sure that the key belongs to the organization and URL you are expecting and is current and valid. The page you are currently viewing is secure and we invite you to examine this information.

While the media has encouraged recent scrutiny of Internet security, Internet and encryption experts have provided extensive information on the steps being taken to secure online transactions and have openly challenged doubters to break encryption algorithms. To this day, these challenges have not been successfully answered and efforts continue to provide consumers with assurance that Internet transactions are safe.
