When you use your
credit card to buy goods or make reservations over
the Internet, you have the same concerns as you
would when using your credit card over the telephone:
· Is the business I am dealing with a reputable
company?
· Could someone else obtain my credit card
details and use my credit card number?
Every day you use your credit card in shops and
restaurants and give it to cashiers and waiters,
you also use it frequently to book tickets or to
pay for items over the phone. Using your credit
card number on the Internet is no more dangerous
than the any of the above situations. In fact, it
is often more secure to give out your account number
over the Internet, because many sites work with
your browser software to encode your transaction
so if outside parties intercept it, they won't be
able to read it.
eurores.com recommends that you keep up to date
with the latest browsers to ensure maximum security
for your online transactions.

Site Security
eurores.com utilizes a technology
called 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
SSL is a set of rules followed by computers
connected to the Internet.
These rules include:
· encryption, which guards against
eavesdropping,
· data integrity, which ensures that
your communications are not tampered
with during transmission,
· authentication, which verifies that
the party who receives your communication
are who they claim to be.
How Encryption Works:
There are two levels of encryption: 40-bit and 128-bit.
With 40-bit encryption, there are billions of possible
keys to decipher the coded information, and only
one of them works. Someone intercepting the information
would have to find the right key - a nearly impossible
task.
With 128-bit encryption, there are 300 billion trillion
times as many keys as with 40-bit encryption. It
is virtually impossible for an unauthorized party
to find the right key, even if they are equipped
with the best computers.
To Check Our Site's Security
Status
When you click to confirm your booking on the confirmation
page displaying your chosen accommodation you will
be transferred to our secure server. Look at the
site's URL in your browser window. You will see
an "s" added to the familiar "http"
(to make "https"), this indicates that
SSL is in effect for the current page.
· In Netscape Navigator 3.0 and earlier,
the broken key symbol in the lower-left corner of
your browser window becomes solid when you are in
secure mode.
· In Netscape Communicator 4.0 and 4.5, the
padlock symbol in the corner, usually open,
is closed in secure mode.
· In Internet Explorer 5.0, a closed padlock
appears when you are in secure mode.
· If you're about to send information to
a site that's not using SSL, your browser will warn
you first.
SSL protects your communications during transmission.
Because of the authentication involved, secure servers
are slower than the regular server for delivering
files. Therefore SSL is only used when transmitting
sensitive information across the web.
