6. Online security policy
EMA’s online payment facility is provided by Direct Payment Solution (DPS), using their Payment Express software. The facility supports all major credit cards including Visa, American Express, Diners Club and MasterCard as well as all banks in New Zealand (ANZ, ASB, BNZ, National Bank, Westpac).
Security of the payment facility is enabled via the 3 Data Encryption Standard (3DES) encryption protocol. 3DES is a widely-used method of data encryption using a private (secret) key judged so difficult to break by the U.S. government that it was restricted for exportation to other countries. There are 72,000,000,000,000,000 (72 quadrillion) or more possible encryption keys that can be used. DES applies a 56-bit key to each 64-bit block of data. 3DES applies three keys in succession making it relatively impenetrable.
Although we are confident your Credit card and anonymity are protected, EMA (Northern) makes no warranty in respect of the strength or effectiveness of the encryption used and EMA Northern does not take responsibility for events arising from unauthorised access of the information you provide.
To check the security of your connection, look at the lower right-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser),then SSL is active and your transaction is being conducted in secure mode. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https."
