The connection to our website and the Java applet that you download if using Java are confirmed by digital signature using a certificate owned by Hush Communications. When you access our website using a URL beginning with “https://” your browser will automatically confirm this. When you download the Hush Encryption Engine Java applet when using Hushmail with Java, you will be prompted to accept a certificate from Hush Communications. Your web browser is able to confirm that only Hush Communications could have produced the digital signatures. If you get any certificate warnings when accessing Hushmail, do not continue. Someone may be attempting to intercept your communications. In addition, if you believe that someone may have tampered with your web browser, you can not be certain that the site you are accessing is really from Hushmail.
