If I key in my card details at home or in the office, surely they are not encrypted until after hey arrive at the WorldPay system?
Using industry standard SSL, Thawte and WorldPay unique encryption systems, this is not actually the case. When you fill in the payment form and click the submit button, your details are not sent straight away. What actually happens is that a secure link is set up between the shopper’s browser and WorldPay, and an encryption code is requested and received, which then wraps the order and transaction details before leaving the shopper’s premises. For more detailed information about WorldPay security, please see their website: http://www.worldpay.com/usa/index.html Here is security information from CCNow: Our shopping-cart software runs in Secure Mode on the customer’s browser, using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to encrypt sensitive data such as credit card numbers. While selecting products and adding them to the Shopping Cart, the customer is in Non-Secure Mode. After he/she presses the Checkout button, we switch to Secure Mode in order to collect the billing and shipping information. All
