Verified Secure: In order for a website to qualify for the Verified Secure Seal, it must be using 128-Bit SSL Encryption on pages where private information can be entered, such as credit cards, Social Security numbers, loan information, etc.
Some websites may also use third-party payment processing such as PayPal which are known to secure customer information. If you are ever in doubt about the security of a page on a website, look for https:// in the URL, and also look for a lock symbol at the bottom of your browser. You can click on the lock to view the certificate details.
Note: All SSL Certificates are generated by third party companies.
