Encryption

From the beginning to the end of your connection (on-line session), all your information and personal data are encrypted based on the 128-bit encryption protocol (Secure Sockets Layer – SSL). Encryption is essentially a way of encrypting information until it reaches its intended recipient, who can decrypt it using the appropriate key. Every time you pay with Viva Payments, all communication between your computer and Viva Payments systems is encrypted using a 128 bit EV key from Thawte (the most recognized cryptographic key issuing company). That is, every time you send information to the system, your browser first encrypts it using a 128-bit key and then sends it to the system. The Viva Payments system first decrypts the information it receives using the same key (predefined when you start connecting to the service) and then processes it. Viva Payments systems send you information following the same encryption process.
