Security
In order to maintain the authenticity and confidentiality of the information you provide online to Comtech21, including Comtech21's online purchase order forms, Comtech21 utilizes secure server technology which uses a secure socket layer (SSL) protocol to secure a connection between your browser and Comtech21's Web server. The SSL protocol protects the integrity of your correspondence with Comtech21 by providing three major security capabilities:
Privacy: The information sent between your browser and our Web server is encrypted so an unauthorized third party may not read the contents of the message.
Authentication: While SSL is active, you can view the identity and owner of the Web server your browser is connected to by clicking on the closed padlock. This information is contained in a digital certificate issued by a public certificate authority and exchanged with your browser when the SSL connection is established.
Data Integrity: SSL provides a mechanism which verifies that the data has not been tampered with between the time the sender sent it and the receiver received it.
There may be a slight change in the appearance of your browser when you enter the online purchase order forms. This change may vary depending on the type and version of the browser you use. While the SSL connection is active, you will see a note at the bottom of each page indicating a secure connection is active. You will also see a closed padlock at the lower left corner of your browser (depending on which browser you are using).
