How safe is the paypal system?
PayPal is developed on the basis of automatically encrypting the confidential information in transit from one computer to another by using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits(highest available commercially). For approval, the server checks out whether the browser is using SSL3.0 or higher standard. After reaching the system the information resides on a server that is heavily protected both physically and electronically. The servers are protected through electronic firewalls and are not connected to the Internet directly; this makes the private information available to authorized computers only.
