Checking Security Features

Check the security of a web page before ordering online!

Click in the Location text box, type www.luxor.com, then press [enter].

Click the hyperlink for Reservations.

The reservations Web page for the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas appears.  Before you send your credit card number into cyberspace, you will submit an incomplete reservations form so that you can check the security features.

Click the Security button.  (In Netscape the lock appears at the bottom left corner of the status bar.  In Internet Explorer, the Security button (lock) appears toward the middle of the status bar.)

To get out of the dialog box, click OK in Navigator or click Close in Internet Explorer.

You should get in the habit of checking the security features of a Web site before you enter confidential information such as your credit card number.  The word to remember is encryption.  A site that is encrypted is more secure than a site that is not encrypted.
