FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How Does PlatinumCostumes.com Secure All Transactions?
Your safety is extremely important to Platinum Costumes. All of our online orders are processed securely using 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) digital certificate technology to connect securely and directly to the Payment Gateway.
How about explaining that in plain english you ask? Ok, we'll try... SSL is the industry-standard method for protecting Web communications. The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication and message integrity for all of our order processing connections. SSL primarily comes in two strengths, 40-bit and 128-bit, which refer to the length of the "session key" generated by every encrypted transaction. The longer the key, the more difficult it is to break the encryption code. Any software with encryption features having key lengths over 40 bits is considered "Strong Encryption" by the U.S. Government.
Most browsers support 40-bit SSL sessions, and the latest browsers enable users to encrypt transactions in 128-bit sessions (which is what Platinum Costumes uses).
The presence of this technology is what enables the little "Lock" graphic in the lower left hand side of your browser when you go to "Checkout" with your items. Some browsers also display a pop up message to let you know that you are "Entering A Secure Site".
Any web connection/message that use 128-bit SSL encryption is 309,485,009,821,345,068,724,781,056 times harder to crack than 40-bit messages. Thus, it would take the same technology used to crack a RSA 40-bit message 1 trillion x 1 trillion years to crack a 128-bit message. That's several trillion times longer than the age of the Earth.
So, In A Nutshell...
We take your (and our) security very seriously. You should definitely feel both confident and secure while placing an order online with PlatinumCostumes.com.
