OATH Statement of Security
At the Ontario Association of Trading Houses,
we are committed to maintaining a comfortable and secure browsing environment
for our visitors and clients.
Our web site functions on standard web server technology, hosted by
an established and secure third party provider. Should you choose to fill
out a form on our site for communication or transaction processing, the
transfer of data process is managed with a simple "mailto" form and CGI
server-side parsing script hosted within a secure SSL (secure socket layers)
section of the host computer.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a commonly-used protocol for managing the
security of a message transmission on the Internet. SSL uses a program
layer located between the Internet's Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
and Transport Control Protocol (TCP) layers. SSL is included as part of
both the Microsoft and Netscape browsers and most Web server products.
SSL was developed by Netscape and is now supported by Microsoft and other
Internet client/server developers as well. The "sockets" part of the term
refers to the sockets method of passing data back and forth between a
client and a server program in a network or between program layers in
the same computer.
SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system from RSA, which
also includes the use of a digital certificate. When processing a data
form on our site, you will notice that the browser displays a "closed
padlock", guaranteeing full encryption and your personal security.
