Introduction
CMToolkit Ltd understands the concerns about the security and privacy of visiting
websites. This is why we use GlobalSign to ensure that your valuable data is encrypted
when you interact with CEMAR.
We employ state-of-the-art data encryption to ensure safe and secure transactions
to CEMAR. Your computer and ours agree to transpose whatever we are sending into
an unintelligible "hash" of characters, using a technology called SSL. For example:
3048 0241 00C9 18FA CF8D EB2D EFD5 FD37 89B9 E069 EA97 FC20 5E35 F577 EE31 C4FB

Without the information on your computer or ours, no one can understand our encrypted
communication.
What is SSL?
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) (and Transport Layer Security (TLS)) is the most
widely deployed security protocol used today. It is essentially a protocol that
provides a secure channel between two machines operating over the Internet or an
internal network. In today’s Internet focused world, we typically see SSL in use
when a web browser needs to securely connect to a web server over the insecure Internet.
Technically SSL is a transparent protocol, which requires little interaction from
the end user when establishing a secure session. For example, in the case of a browser,
users are alerted to the presence of SSL when the browser displays a padlock, or
in the case of Extended Validation SSL the address bar displays both a padlock and
a green bar. You'll also notice that http:// is replaced by https:// (The 's' stands
for 'Secure').
Our SSL Certification
To generate an encrypted SSL transmission, a web server requires an SSL Certificate.
Checking a website's certificate is good practice that helps you avoid spoof websites,
sometimes called "phishing" sites. To check the certificate, click on the padlock.
Your browser will show you the name of the owner of the certificate. This name should
match the name of the website operator.
Our SSL certificate is issued by a leading certificate authority, GlobalSign. GlobalSign
is proud to secure some of the world's leading web sites, To find out more about
