Locked Pages (https)
This site uses the latest technology for
a Safe & Secure online
transaction. Sensitive
pages that encapsulate
personal or sensitive
information are encrypted
on our secure server
(https) and your browser
will identify it
as such. Utilizing 256 bit encryption SSL (stands for "Secure Socket Layer").
This is a protocol designed
to enable applications
to transmit information
back and forth securely.
Applications that use this
protocol inherently
know how to give and receive
encryption keys
with other applications,
as well as how to
encrypt and decrypt data
sent between the
two.
SSL Background
In the early days of the Web, 40 bit keys
were used. Each bit could
contain a one or
a zero -- which meant there
were 240 different
keys available. That's
a little over one
trillion distinct keys.
The key is generated
by the Certification Authority
based on the
domain and the configuration
of the server
it resides on. And because
every domain name
is, by nature, different,
every key is different.
But because of the ever-increasing speed
of computers, it became
apparent that this
wasn't secure enough. Conceivably,
with the
high-end processors that
would come available
in the future, hackers
could eventually try
every key until they found
the proper one,
which would allow them
to decrypt and steal
private data. It would
take some time, but
it was possible.
So then the keys were lengthened to 128 bits.
That's 2128 keys, or 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456
unique encryption codes.
(That's 340 trillion
trillion trillion, for
those of you keeping
track at home.) It was
determined that if
computers kept advancing
in speed as they
have in the past, these
128 bit codes would
remain secure for at least
another decade,
if it not longer. Our site
"Go-Karts'R'us
has brought the level up
to 256 bit to stay
on top of the very latest
of encryption technology
the Internet has to offer.
Rest assured your
information used and transmitted
on our site
is totally safe from anybody
else period.

Unlocked Pages (http)
Most "surfing" or web browsing
pages do not need or have
to be encrypted.
They simply do not contain
any personal or
sensitive information.
In this case your
web browser will display
a normal (http)
address identifying a normal
web connection.
By not encrypting this
data or webpage allows
for much quicker site navigation
and "web
surfing" being that
the information
does not have to get encrypted
on a secure
server.
Why have them?
Many viewers may ask "why not encrypt
everything?" The answer
is simple, it
would create too much server
load to encrypt
every page you want to
surf to. This additional
"strain" would
dramatically slow
not only you down but everyone
else that
is viewing the site as
well. In a recent
conference, a spokesperson
referred to this
as "Hey, It's like
leaving your car
running all night long
when your not going
to go anywhere!" So
bottom line is,
if a page needs to be encrypted
on our site,
it is! We guarantee our
site transactions
100% and will pay any fraudulent
sales that
become from any misuse
or abuse from our
site. We have tried to
make your surfing
and shopping experience
the safest possible.
