![*]() Credit cards are rapidly
becoming the payment method of choice whenever possible.
Most or all of the retail business conducted over the Web
is done with credit cards.
Majority of people out there are still of the opinion that
using credit cards over the Web is extremely risky. But
it's of utmost importance that you to make sure that your
online sales system is as secure as practical, and convince
your site visitors of this fact. By taking a few simple
precautions, you can make it difficult enough to breach
your security. If somebody wants to run a credit card rip-off,
there are far easier ways to do it than hacking into a site
that has taken basic security precautions.
There are several systems you can use to make your ordering
page secure. The most popular one is Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL), which is supported by all major browsers, and by
most ISPs. Payment Gateway companies help other Processors
conduct secure business on the internet using Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) technology. Using a secure Web protocol such
as SSL has two main goals.
The first is they provide a system that passes credit card
data, authorization requests, and authorization responses
over the internet using encryption technology, so that it
would be very difficult for a third party to decipher. And
the other one is to certify that the message is in fact
coming from where it claims to be coming from, so that it
becomes very difficult for a third party to forge a transaction.
This is done by means of a digital certificate. Ensure all
transactions are sent using a Secured Virtual Network and
only transactions originated from merchant IP address are
validated, which is a very strong protection against hackers.
Address Verification Service (AVS) is a key security feature
to help prevent fraud. The customer enters their billing
address, and it is verified against the address of file
for that credit card number. In addition to the secure gateway
and AVS features, a highly trained risk management team
monitors each transaction.
