All ACES data storage and transmission is secured from end to end—that is, from the time it leaves the browser being used at the college until it passes beyond the ETS firewall. (ETS processes ACES studies for the College Board.) A combination of security tools and procedures is used, including Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), and ETS proprietary encryption techniques.
