Product Perks is committed to building and maintaining secure, high-performing websites.

Q: What is the green padlock or colored bar that appears in my browser address bar, to the left of the website address on pages such as https://ProductPerks.com/login/ ?

A: The “SSL certificate” on ProductPerks.com’s Content Management System and Buy pages means that those pages transmit secure information with “https”.

Click on the green padlock or the colored bar that appears on the secure https pages and you’ll see this message: “Verified by GlobalSign… Connection Encrypted: High-grade Encryption (AES-256 256 bit). The page you are viewing was encrypted before being transmitted over the Internet.”

In addition to being used by Product Perks, SSL is used on websites for banks, most email providers, and other secure websites. SSL pages are encrypted with the same security level approved by the U.S. government and the NSA for top secret information. It is the ultimate in secure data transmission.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard#cite_note-7:

“The design and strength of all key lengths of the AES algorithm (i.e., 128, 192 and 256) are sufficient to protect classified information up to the SECRET level. TOP SECRET information will require use of either the 192 or 256 key lengths. The implementation of AES in products intended to protect national security systems and/or information must be reviewed and certified by NSA prior to their acquisition and use.”

We have other security systems in place also.
