website: The security of your information,
transactions, and money is the core of their
business and their top priority. PayPal
automatically encrypts your confidential
information in transit from your computer to
theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol
(SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits

server checks that you are using an approved
browser, one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher. Once
