[need explanation re: what types of sites should be secure] A site is secure if: - A locked padlock icon appears (in the lower right-hand corner of the browser window for Internet Explorer and Firefox and in the upper right-hand corner of the Safari window).
- The URL should begin with https:// instead of http:// (the “s” stands for Secure Socket Layer). This ensures that the sensitive data, such as credit card information, is encrypted as it is transferred over the Internet.
