Is it safe to donate online?

Yes - HOPE International accepts online donations using Secure Socket Layers (SSL) technology to protect your credit card information.

A secure WWW server uses the Secure Socket Layers (SSL) technology to establish an encrypted connection between the WWW server and the client. The SSL Protocol is designed to provide privacy between two communicating applications (a computer and a webserver). Second, the protocol is designed to authenticate the server, and optionally the client.

All keys generated by the private Certificate Authority at NetNation Internet use the keysize of 1024 bits. This keysize approaches industrial standards required for encryption.
