In the AvaTax tax calculation service, how is security handled over the Internet?
Security is maintained by encapsulating the entire “conversation” (client to web service) using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, and establishing “best-practice” standards in username/password combinations. Account keys are generated through a 4 step process that includes using “one-way hash” and SHA encryption, creating a “public/private” key setup that ensures that your client is uniquely identified and is the only software that can access your account and data. Once your data is on our systems we ensure its security using multiple layers of firewalls, IDS (intrusion detection systems), active traffic monitors, redundant storage systems and a thorough backup and disaster recovery process.
