As of today we have ceased using Actinic's inbuilt Java encryption
system which was causing problems for most users with the new XP
operating system.
The new system uses SSL (secure socket layers) which has become
the industry standard way of encrypting sensitive information and
provides for the well know 
to be displayed in the status bar at the bottom of your browser
when it is in use and for the address bar to start with 'https'
rather then the usual 'http'.
How Will This Affect Your Shopping Experience?
The essence of your shopping experience will not change in anyway.
All of your actual shopping will be carried out as before, the only
difference being the way we take your cardit card information.
After you have entered the Checkout process, we will ask you for
your name, address and shipping details as normal. Only from when
you come to the screen that asks you how you wish to pay for your
order can things be different.
If you select 'Send Credit Card Details Seperately'
your order will complete without asking for card details and we
will either await information or contact you to obtain this information.
If you select 'Credit Card' then this is where
the shopping process alters. Previously you would have transfered
to our payment screen where the JAVA applet would take your Credit
Card information and Encrypt it before transmission with your order
to our system. Now though the following will happen, ensuring that
all shoppers benefit from the security of the SSL ,
and that no problems will arise with XP/JAVA:
We are using the services of a company who are certificated by
Thawte (the company that issues SSL ceritificates).
1. You will be transferred to 'secure-online-payment' where your
credit card information can be collected by us in a secure environment.
2. When you are on the screen that will take your Credit Information
you will see the
in the status bar and 'https' in the address bar at all times.
3. Once you have submitted your Credit Card details you will be
transferred back our site where your receipt will be displayed to
confirm that your order has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the security of your credit
information please email us at security@calibresoftware.co.uk
