With the
rising demand for security over the Internet,
requests for secure features have increased for
E-commerce. Nihil Ultra has addressed this need
with the implementation of PGP-based encryption for
information processed by our secure servers. We offer
secure server space (information is
processed/transferred through the SSL, Secure Socket
Layer) to handle your sensitive information (online
order forms, etc.) from your shopping cart.
The issue of
security has arisen regarding the processed mail form
going from the secure site to unsecure e-mail (where
all forms processed by form mail goes). To address
this issue, Nihil Ultra goes one step further and
provides server-side PGP encryption to secure your
emails.

(PRETTY GOOD PRIVACY) ENCRYPTED EMAIL |
The
information is encrypted both on the server and in
transit using PGP all the way back to your computer
through email. This how we make sure the sensitive
information about your customer ( e.g. credit card
information etc.) are secured and you (or your
authorized person) are the only person who can
read/decrypt this by using your Pretty Good Privacy
(PGP) private key. PGP is easy to install and a user
friendly software. However we stongly recommend that
you thoroughly read any available documentation on
PGP to be as familiar as possible. Nihil Ultra is one of
the few hosting companies that offer the combination
of SSL and PGP to maximize the security of on-line
transactions necessary for e-commerce.The combination
of SSL and PGP will provide you and your customers
with maximum security.
