security Policy
This site takes precautions to help maintain the privacy and security of your information. For example, you are required to enter a valid Email address and Password before any personal information can be displayed. This site encrypts the information transmitted between our server and your browser. Also, if there is no activity on a page for an extended period of time, the site automatically logs you off. When that happens, you need to log on again using your Email address and Password.
To identify one page request from another, this site uses a common technique called "HTTP-header cookies". These cookies do not contain any personal information. They just indicate that a page request is from someone who has already logged on. Your browser may be set up to warn you whenever a site sends your browser a cookie. If a pop-up message asks you to accept or reject the use of cookies, you should accept it. This site will not work without them.
Encryption is a mathematical process that transforms a message to conceal its meaning. Encryption is used to protect messages from eavesdropping, tampering, or forgery over the Internet. This site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt personal information transmitted between our server and your browser.
SSL uses public-key encryption using keys of various sizes, 40-, 56-, 128-bit, etc. The larger the key length and number of possible keys, the more difficult it is for unauthorised persons to decrypt or read the message. For example, messages encrypted with a 128-bit key are much more secure than a message encrypted with a 40-bit key.
The size of the key is tied to a specific browser installation. This secure site only accepts browsers with a minimum encryption strength of 128-bit. The Site provides the maximum level of encryption supported by your browser. When you use this site at work, only the browsers provided or authorised by your employer should be used.
When you use this site at home, you can download browsers with 128-bit encryption or higher from either Mozilla or Microsoft at no cost other than connection time. The encryption technology in these browsers is subject to U.S. export regulations and U.S. laws and generally may not be exported to certain countries. For more information, visit the browser manufacturer's website.
If the URL of a secure document begins with "https://", the "s" indicates a secure channel to the server. Also, when security (SSL) is present, both Microsoft® Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox display a padlock icon, which is closed once a secure channel is established.

To maximise the privacy of your information and provide a consistent visual presentation, a relatively current and capable browser is required. For example, the browser must support JavaScript™, cookies, and SSL. For enhanced security, a browser version that uses 128-bit SSL encryption or higher is recommended.
