online - securely
All data passed during the secure connection are encrypted
for security and transferred with no opportunity of being intercepted
and used for any purpose other than the transaction you intend. Your
browser is also configured to manage a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection,
assuming it's a relatively current version of Netscape Navigator /
Communicator, Microsoft Internet Explorer or other name-brand browser
software. Your browser "tells" you when it has established a secure
connection by displaying an icon, generally a padlock in the locked
position, located at the bottom of your browser window.

When you see the padlock - you are on a secure connection and no-one
can intercept your data.
