Secure Order Form:
A encrypted page on
a website
which makes easy online payment possible for the customer while
simultaneously guaranteeing security from hacker-, spyware- or
virus attacks intended to spy out credit card and password
data.
The volume of sales over
the Internet is booming. Unfortunately online criminality, too.
If a sales website cannot put their visitors at ease about the
security of their sensitive data, it will lose a lot of
possible sales because they won’t enter their credit card
information.
A SSL encrypted Secure
Order Form provides such a safe platform to make the secure
sale possible. It needs to show the following
features:
-
The address
in the browser address bar shows
“https” instead of the
usual “http”
-
The address bar in
the Firefox browser is yellow instead of white with
non-encrypted sites
-
In the address bar
and at the window bottom in the status bar the symbol
of a closed padlock appears

Example of a Secure Order Form showing the
necessary features of a SSL encrypted
site.
