What kind of security does Honor Roll Solutions provide for my online courses?
SSL, or Secure Socket Layer, is a technology which allows web browsers and web servers to communicate over a secured connection. This means that the data being sent is encrypted by one side, transmitted, then decrypted by the other side before processing. This is a two-way process, meaning that both the server AND the browser encrypt all traffic before sending out data. aMentor uses SSL to process and deliver an encrypted data connection between a client and a server. Data is encrypted by the sending software, in this case aMentor, and decrypted by the receiving software, your browser. This process provides a high degree of confidentiality. Confidentiality is important for both parties to any private transaction. In addition, all data sent over an encrypted SSL connection is protected with a mechanism for detecting tampering–that is, for automatically determining whether the data has been altered in transit.
