A secure connection is an encrypted exchange of information between the website you are visiting and Internet
Explorer. Encryption is provided through a document the website provides called a certificate. When you send
information to the website, it is encrypted at your computer and decrypted at the website. Under normal
circumstances, the information cannot be read or tampered with while it is being sent, but it's possible that
someone might find a way to crack the encryption.
Even if the connection between your computer and the website is encrypted, it does not guarantee that the website
is trustworthy. Your privacy can still be compromised by way the website uses or distributes your information.
