Must Have Gadget for Safe and Secure Online Shopping (SmartSwipe)

Last week I just bought a new SmartSwipe. Now I am using this to do my online shopping securely. Instead of typing my credit card information when shopping online, swipe my credit card through the SmartSwipe while at the payment screen and the forms for credit card information will be filled out and encrypted.

I find this gadget will be good for online customer who feels that when they add their credit info for shopping online is not safe.

Very use to use just plugs into a USB port and encrypts your credit card data before it even reaches your computer. And as threats change, software for the SmartSwipe can be updated

Benefits of SmartSwipe

1. Protects your credit card information from malicious software while you shop online

2. Provides proactive protection against 'phishing' sites

3. Protection against Man in the Middle attacks

Why more secure

This is the new, smarter, more secure way to shop online. The SmartSwipe (by NetSecure Technologies) is the world’s first truly secure personal credit card reader. When you install SmartSwipe, you can swipe your credit card at your home or office computer just like you would in a store. Plug the SmartSwipe into your computer’s USB port, go shopping to your favorite online stores and swipe your credit card – it is that easy. The best part is that you know your credit card information is safe and secure.

Regular internet security will protect your information once it has reached the internet, but hackers can still access your personal information while it is being entered into your computer and/or while it resides in memory. Anti-virus software and firewalls are no longer enough to protect you. With SmartSwipe your information is safe from the moment you swipe your card and your card information is never stored on your computer

Why Best Security:

While traditional SSL encryption has proven very effective in transferring sensitive data over the web, new hacker technologies are exploiting vulnerabilities at the client's computer to obtain sensitive data prior to encryption. The ability for hackers to circumvent SSL encryption undermines the entire internet security infrastructure. This has profound implications for legitimate businesses collecting sensitive data via the web, as consumer trust and confidence in the security of their private information is vital to maintaining the integrity of this system.

To address this concern, NetSecure Technologies has developed Dynamic SSL: a client-side technology that works seamlessly with existing SSL-enabled systems to provide true endpoint to endpoint security. Sensitive data is secured at the point of origin before it even reaches the computer and is transferred securely to an organization's secure server. No cumbersome and expensive changes are required to existing client and server systems.

Dynamic SSL allows organizations to retain all the benefits of SSL (low-cost/interoperable/proven) while at the same time addressing its endpoint vulnerabilities. In addition, organizations do not need to change any of their server side encryption infrastructures to benefit from the extra layer of data security that Dynamic SSL provides.

Easy to use-Just run the installation software and plug the device into an open USB port.

SmartSwipe works within your existing browser security - this means that you can continue to shop online as you always have and SmartSwipe will work with you.

You will never again have to manually enter in your credit card information. Just swipe and SmartSwipe will do the rest for you.

Your credit card information is protected as you swipe your card through the device.

SmartSwipe makes your sensitive credit card information immune to most kinds of malicious software attacks.
