Verifying Taos County On-Line Security

To ensure that your passwords and credit card information is protected, Taos County On-Line uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. On pages where private information may be sent over the Internet, you will find the SSL icon in the lower right hand window bar. It appears as a small padlock (or a key in Netscape) and when you double-click on the icon, the security information is displayed in a window. You should see it at the bottom of this page. Also, you can click on the SECURED BY seal above to obtain more information about the security protection we offer.

GeoTrust Security

Everybody is eager to conduct electronic transactions on the Internet. Consumers like the convenience and merchants like the increased sales. The technology to conduct electronic commerce is now in place. There's just one problem. Trust.

They need to know - absolutely and positively - that your business is real, and they need to be assured that their communications with you will be private. You, at the same time, need to protect your data and your business against disputed sales or someone "spoofing" your site and taking away your customers. GeoTrust has the solution. It's called QuickSSL^tm.
