Security

[Andy128]

I would like to create an admin page that contains sensitive information. I will password protect it. Is there a way to make it a secure transition from BV to where ever I download the page? I have done the ping tests before and it is alarming that the downloaded page stops at so many servers along the way before winding up on my computer.

Thanks in advance

What is a secure transition ?

Re: Security

Well- I guess my question would be this; When requesting a page from BV to where ever I may be- what are the chances of it being seen by others, copied or otherwise intercepeted? For instance, when I put a credit card info on some sites they state that it is a secure connection (as evidenced by the little lock in the lower right side of the screen). I take from that- other normal page downloads are less secure.

As stated before- I wish to have an admin page that I of course will password protect. But while the page is traveling to me via the web- I would like to guard it's content. Am I over worried about this potential security leak or is there a way to be a little more secure.

Thanks again

Re: Security

Andy128 I believe I know what you are talking about. You need a 128 encryptic page and a ssl certification. Get the page encrypted. This is something I am not sure of. The part that I find confusing why does the page have to travel?

OK.....Click the link below to purchase a SSL encryption certificate and
your problem will be solved. There is no other way. If you are taking credit
card numbers, you need to have a SSL cert.

Thanks BV- I will look at that link for the encryption.


Pet121- If you were to do a ping test to- lets say Google. It will typically stop at several different locations and be forwarded to the computer from which you are working. At any of those points- there is the potential that the page or information can be copied. Additionally- there are ways to intercept the packets that contain the page you were requesting from anywhere along the path it travels to your computer. While this is unlikley- if you contain sensitive information on any of your webpages stored at BV- when you access it via the internet, the above is always a possibility.

Re: Security

Andy I understand what you are saying about the page travelling. I assume this page you are concernned about will not be optimized for search engines doesn't have to be. The ssl certificate is a must.

Just for some posssible extra protection. If your page travels the only thing that will be viewed will be your source code. I have a program that codes your whole source code. For example if a real person does happen to view your source code. It would look something like this.


Page protected the first part of the page would be blank. If a person scrolls down all that will be shown is.

Just a bunch of jibberish but your page remains intacked. It could be a added sercurity feature. Afterall its the source code a would be scam artist go after. Just a bit of trivia. pet121
