The Canadian Venture Exchange has created this security statement to demonstrate how the information you submit to our websites remains secure. Please direct your questions, comments or concerns in this matter to the Web Service Administrator.
What does the "warning" window that sometimes comes up really mean?
Security Information pop-up window This message means that you're entering the safest, most secure area of our website.

This should be reassuring since this is where credit card transactions take place. Click to continue. Going from secure mode to unsecure mode, you'll likely receive another similar alert message, just to make sure you understand what's happening.

Why do I hear so much about security on the Internet?
Several things are happening to make Internet security a newsworthy item. First, it's relatively new, so people wonder and talk and write about it. Secondly, the Internet is "technology", so people find it interesting to discuss. In addition e-commerce transactions continue to grow as people increasingly choose e-commerce over traditional purchasing methods.
How do I know if a website is secure?
When buying something on the Internet, there are three things to be sure of:
  1. Data you send is strongly encrypted.
  2. The site you're doing business with is the site you think it is.
  3. The site (vendor) you're doing business with will process your credit card and address information in a secure and responsible manner.

Points 1 and 2 are taken care of by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), the industry standard security protocol that the CDNX website uses to communicate with secure browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer. When communicating with a secure server like the one at CDNX, these browsers encrypt the information you send in a way that is extremely difficult for anyone else to decode. If your browser is capable of 128 bit encryption, then they will hook up to the secure areas of the CDNX website with an even higher level of encryption than a regular browser which uses 40 bit encryption. You can only register with the CDNX website, or purchase any service or products, if your browser supports secure transactions.

Many security experts say the most important thing is what happens once the merchant receives your order. At the CDNX  we take several steps to keep things on our end as safe as possible. For example, we process your order immediately and maintain credit card information in an encrypted format on a machine that is not connected to the Internet.

Below (What parts of the CDNX website are secure?) is a visual representation of what to look for in your browser window to see if you're viewing a site securely.
Which parts of the CDNX website are secure?
Most of the activity on our site involves the viewing of materials we've prepared and made accessible to everyone, so there's no need for these pages to be "secure". When you review a delayed quote page or the Member Firms Guide, for example, no security risk exists because information is not being exchanged. Anyone can access the same pages by pointing their browser at http://www.cdnx.com.

The portions of the CDNX site that are secure are:
  1. website account registration, both setup and maintenance, and

  2. When purchasing a product or service.

There are visuals to confirm that you're in a secure area. All SSL capable browsers have a symbol to indicate secure mode. Specifically:

Browser Symbol Location Normal (Insecure) mode Symbol Secure Mode Symbol
Netscape 1.2, 2.0
and 3.0		 Lower left Broken Key Broken Key Complete Key Complete Key
Netscape Communicator (4.0) Lower left Open Lock Open Lock Closed Lock Closed Lock
Microsoft Internet Explorer Lower Right NONE Closed Lock Closed Lock


You can also tell when you're in a secure area because the URL to the left of the colon changes from 'http' to 'https' to signify that a SSL protocol is being used to communicate with the server (http = HyperText Transport Protocol; https = HTTP with SSL.) In most browsers you'll also see a solid blue line in the upper portion of the browser's window — another visual aid that lets you know you're browsing a secure area.

One additional note: some browsers give you a warning when you go from a secure area to a regular area. The aim is worthy enough— to ensure that people know when they've left a secure server.
