The Bulbmeister Cares for Your Security
Why SSL is essential for peace of mind
At Bulbmeister.COM we make it our mission to provide you with
a positive customer experience and we want you to be confident
that you can order from us safely and securely. With this in
mind we've secured our online payment
area so that your valuable data, such as credit
card details, are protected from prying eyes.
In order to achieve this we went to Comodo ,
the world-renowned Certification Authority, to obtain an SSL
Certificate . Comodo are
the second largest Certification Authority in the world and
are Web Trust compliant, meaning that their business practices
and processes have been rigorously audited to AICPA (American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants) guidelines by an
independent approved auditor (KPMG).
To qualify to receive our SSL Certificate from Comodo we
had to validate ourselves with them, in order to satisfy them
that we are a legitimate business. We had to prove not only
that we own this web domain, but also that we are a legally
accountable company. We believe that only by seeking this level
of validation can you have peace of mind when buying online.
You can even prove validity of SSL Certificates for yourself
by downloading the free Verification
Engine from Comodo .
This software allows you to verify the authenticity of an SSL
Certificate outside of your web browser, where no fake or fraudulent
website can affect the result.
What is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard security technology
for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser.
This link ensures that all data passed between our web server
and your browser remains private and secure. SSL is an industry
standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection
of their online transactions with their customers. In order
to be able to generate an SSL link (signified by the gold padlock
in the information tool bar), a web server requires an SSL
Certificate .
Why is SSL important?
Since the SSL protocol was released by Netscape as a security
technology in 1996 we have all been educated to look for the
SSL padlock before passing any critical details over the Internet.
Technically, the SSL protocol provides an encrypted link between
two parties, however to you the consumer, seeing the SSL padlock
in your browser means much more:
- That you have a secure (encrypted) link with this website
- That this website is a valid and legitimate organization
or an accountable legal entity
As well as ensuring that your details remain secure during
a transaction, we know that you also care whether the website
you are dealing with is legitimate. In order to solve the critical
issue of identity assurance as well as information security
on the Internet, the efforts of SSL Providers (Certification
Authorities), consumer magazines and industry bodies have rightly
resulted in the SSL padlock becoming synonymous with trust
and integrity.
