How do I know if a website is secure?
Published by BossOnLine, last Update le Wednesday July 16, 2008 08:41:06 PM by fleursdespyreneesSome web sites use a secure connection between the web site and your browser. This may be important to you, for instance, if you want to pay online for a product or a service and have to enter credit card information or other personal information.
To know if your browser is viewing a secure web site, you can look in the lower right part of the window. There is a small box in the frame of the window to the left of the area that describes which zone you are in (usually the Internet zone, with a globe icon). If you see a yellow padlock icon, the web site you are viewing is a "secure web site." If the box is empty, the web site does not have a secure connection with your browser. You can also have a look at the URL: if it starts with [https://], you are on a secured page; if the URL starts with http://, you're not.
