Why do I get an alert about the site certificate when I log in to Benesight?
For your protection, Benesight relies on secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption technology. The industry standard, SSL encryption technology is among the safest software available today for secure transactions. It encrypts all the personal information you send and receive so someone else can’t read it as it travels over the Internet. If you have ever used your credit card on a Web site, chances are you’ve used the same technology! Any company that wants to encrypt information over the Internet applies for a digital certificate. When your browser finds a certificate for the first time, you will receive an alert message. You’ll be able to see who owns the certificate, and make sure that company is one you trust. If it is, approve the certificate. Your browser will walk you through the process. Your computer will then “remember” this site so you won’t have to approve the certificate again.
