Safari: Using encryption and secure connections

Safari is compatible with secure websites, such as those that use 128-bit encryption. Learn how to recognize a secure connection, and how to avoid a fake. Websites that deal in personal or financial information typically offer secure connections. With a secure connection, your data is encrypted so that it cannot be easily read by anyone who might intercept it between your computer and the website. Safari works with websites that use 128-bit "strong" encryption. Important : You should not enter any sensitive information on a form if you are not sure it is secure. If a legitimate organization requests sensitive information on an insecure form, you should consider contacting them via telephone instead.
