There are two general indications of a secured web page, but I found none for

www.i-access.com, but customer service representative mention they used other

tools for security, so you would not see following two general indications

and tell me feel safe to trade online. They get no proofs on any security for

online trading, can you trust them?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to check whether this web site would

encrypt transition data or not?

Thanks for any suggestions

John



1) Check the web page URL



Normally, when browsing the web, the URLs (web page addresses) begin with

the letters "http". However, over a secure connection the address displayed

should begin with "https" - note the "s" at the end.



Try it! - Visit our home page (http://www.ssl.com). Note the URL begins

with the "http" meaning this page is not secure. Click the link in the

upper-right hand corner to "Log in". Notice the change in the URL? It now

begins with "https", meaning the user name and password typed in will be

encrypted before sent to our server.



2) Check for the "Lock" icon



There is a de facto standard among web browsers to display a "lock" icon

somewhere in the window of the browser (NOT in the web page display area!)

For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer displays the lock icon in the

lower-right of the browser window:

Do you confirm whether the web site is secured or not?

When I login for this newsgroup, there is no two general indications of a

secured web page. Can someone collect my username and password by capturing

data through Internet?



Thank you

Sorry, but I'm not about to navigate to that page. If the page URL doesn't

begin with HTTPS, it's not a Secure webpage.



PS: The website itself was only registered in early March 2010.
