Secure E-mail Order Form - Security Issues
Our secure e-mail facility offers the best possible protection we can provide for you.
The SSL connection to our SECURE site HTTPS://secure15.brinkster.com/rphillip/ uses SSL 3.0,
Triple DES with 168 bit encryption (High); RSA with 1024 bit exchange.
You can determine this yourself by right clicking on the 'Pre Order page' and
selecting Properties in the Menu.
For the technically minded, our Secure E-mail Ordering system addresses the following issues :-
SSL - Secure Socket Layer
Most secure ordering web sites offer SSL because your credit information
is passed from the ordering web page back to the Web Server - and SSL is needed to encrypt this information.
Our secure e-mail page does not at any stage pass your information back
to the web server, in fact you never leave the web page while completing the order.
Instead your credit card information is encrypted and then you manually pass
it via the Windows clipboard to your e-mail program.
Encryption protocols used - SHA-1, RSA-512
Your credit card information, i.e. card number, card type, expiry date, is turned
into data "digest(s)" via the US Government approved SHA-1 algorithm (
"Secure Hash Algorithm")
in a way that makes it mathematically impossible to directly convert the data digest back to the original message.
This "hashed" data will be then randomly resequenced to ensure that the
final encrypted credit information for each order you submit always has a completely different signature.
Finally the randomly resequenced SHA-1 data digests are encrypted using a 512 Bit RSA
Public\Private key algorithm. To decode your credit information we use our 'private key'
which is safe from Hackers becauses it is stored on a computer that is not connected to the Internet.

Keyboard viruses - "keyboard sniffers"
Warning ! A new breed of viruses and trojan horses that monitor your keyboard activity
and then silently e-mail logs of your keystrokes to mailboxes setup in various countries have been detected !
These trojan horses can thwart the security of the most reputable commercial and banking
web sites even when they employ the latest encryption methods including
SSL, Certificates, 2048 Bit RSA encryption, etc because most of these web sites
still require you to enter critical information via your keyboard !!
To prevent the possiblity of your credit card numbers and expiry dates being
intercepted and recorded by illegal software activity our secure e-mail page
will only allow the entering of credit numbers via Mouse activated buttons.
