Your online security at Hudson Valley CEO Educational Conference is our number 1
priority! In some instances, convenience may be slightly compromised for this
increase in security.
Before beginning your online registration process, please click
continue after reading the following about our online security
measures.
When you click the 'continue' link, a 'Security Alert' window will popup. Click
'Yes' to accept our certificate and you will enter your registration
information over a secured, encrypted channel. When asked if you wish to
display 'nonsecure' items, click 'No'.
What is https?
The use of "https" in a web address indicates that the site uses a security
protocol known as Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL. The SSL security protocol
provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and
optional client authentication. Because SSL is built into all major browsers
and web servers, simply installing a digital certificate turns on their SSL
capabilities. Digital certificates encrypt data using SL technology, the
industry-standard method for protecting web communications.
How do I know a site is using SSL?
1. The lock icon on your browser will be closed.
2. The URL for the site will start with http
s://
(If a site does not contains these things, it is not a secured data encrypted
site.)
How does it affect me?
Since the Hudson Valley Internet site is adding this security measure, you will
notice these Security Alert prompts.
Why does a Security Alert(IE)/New Web Site Certificate(Netscape) box pop up
each time I enter the Hudson Valley Internet site?
A digital certificate was created to communicate authenticity of security to
web browsers. Once you accept the Digital Certificate this Security Message is
no longer displayed.
How can I get rid of the Security Alert/Warning box notifying me that I am
entering a secured site
The Security Alert/Warning box is a function of your browser and you can chose
to uncheck the "Show me this Alert next time" box. However, you will not get a
Security Alert for any other secured site.
Why does the Security Alert say, "not trusted"?
By default the browser assumes nothing can be trusted. It is up to the user to
accept the security provided by the certificate authority.
"This page contains secure and non-secure items"
One trigger for this message is a remote image source within the HTML code.
Selecting 'No' on this site is preferred.
