Our server is
located in IOWA,USA, and are manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to
make sure that our store is always open and ready for shopping.
You'll know you're on a secure page by looking for a small lock icon in
the web page status bar at the bottom of your web page in the status
bar.
Encryption is the scrambling of information for transmission back and
forth between two points using a numerical formula that scrambles the
information. Your web browser and our computers understand these
formulas that turn your shopping session into numeric code (encode your
data) while your information is traveling over the Internet, and back
into meaningful information (decode your data) when it arrives at your
computer or the AsiaCollection.Net store.
The effectiveness, or level of security for encryption is measured in
terms of the length of the key used to encode and decode your data. The
longer the key, the longer it would take for someone without the correct
decoder key and with very sophisticated computer equipment to break the
code. The length of the key is measured in bits.
Currently, there are international grade browsers (40-bit), and there
are domestic grade browsers (128-bit and 56-bit). The 128-bit browser
offers the highest level of encryption generally available to the public
in North America today and provides very strong protection when
transmitting confidential data over the Internet.
40-bit encryption means there are 240 possible decoder keys that could
be used to decode your account information. That means there are many
billions (a 1 followed by 12 zeros) of possible keys.
128-bit encryption means there are 288 possible decoder keys that could
be used to decode your account information. There are many billions (a 1
followed by 26 zeros) of possible keys. According to Netscape, 128-bit
encryption is 309,485,009,821,345,068,724,781,056 times more powerful
than 40-bit encryption.
Once you are satisfied with the certificate and the protection, feel
free to put in all of the information we ask for. (All the information
-- including sensitive data such as name, address, e-mail and credit
card information is "encrypted" through a secure server for maximum
security at all time).
With all of these elements in place, you can see why, at AsiaCollection.Net, your security is our number one concern.
