What is encryption? How is it used to protect my information?
Encryption is a method of scrambling your information to protect its security during transmission across the Internet. Encryption protects your information against disclosure to third parties. Our website employs the 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which is one of the strongest encryption technologies. All confidential online sessions between you and SilkAir are protected up to a 128-bit encryption level. |

What does 128-bit encryption do for me?
128-bit encryption is a more secure standard for the protection of your information than the conventional 40-bit encryption included with the previous generation of browsers. It enhances the security of the information that is being transmitted between yourself and SilkAir's systems. |
