WEB SITE SECURITY
Infinedi uses several different methods to protect your information:
All information within QServices uses the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol for transferring data. SSL is encryption that creates a secure environment for the information being transferred between your browser and Infinedi.
At a high level, SSL uses public key cryptography to secure transmissions over the Internet. In practice, your browser will send a message via SSL to Infinedi's server. Infinedi responds by sending a certificate, which contains Infinedi's public key. Your browser authenticates the certificate (agrees that the server is, in fact, Infinedi), then generates a random session key that is used to encrypt data traveling between your browser and Infinedi's server. This session key is encrypted using Infinedi's public key and sent back to Infinedi. Infinedi's server decrypts this message using its private key and then uses the session key for the remainder of the communication.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protects data in three ways:
--- Authentication ensures that you are communicating with the correct server. This prevents another computer from impersonating Infinedi.
--- Encryption scrambles transferred data.
--- Data integrity verifies that the information sent by you to Infinedi wasn't altered during the transfer. The system detects if data was added or deleted after you sent the message. If any tampering has occurred, the connection is dropped.
