Internet Browser Encryption Upgrade

Q:   What is encryption?
A:   Encryption is a special program that is part of most modern browsers (the program you are using to view this). It allows you to send and receive information over the Internet without the risk that it can be read by any one other than the sender and recipient. If the information is intercepted by a third party it will appear to them as a bunch unreadable characters. The latest  and best encryption method is "128 bit encryption." It can be obtained for free from the links given below.
Q:   How do I know if I have a browser that supports encryption?
A:   Try to use the jas SHOP "Secure Shopping Cart System" (Secure Checkout option) or test your browser at https://www.fortify.net/sslcheck.html. If your browser does not support encryption it will tell you.

If you would like to update your browser to an encrypted version before ordering a jas SILKS product, follow the links to:
Internet Explorer Netscape Navigator

Choose the "extra security and/or 128-bit Browser"

Please Note:
If you are unfamiliar with installing software we suggest that you CALL or FAX us your order .
Software installations can be a tricky business even for experienced computer operators.
