SSL Security
At HOCO, we prioritize the security of your information by implementing SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. This advanced security feature encrypts sensitive data transmitted over the Internet, ensuring the highest level of protection for your personal and payment details. Our website follows the same security measures as the most secure e-commerce platforms, providing a safe online shopping experience. You can confidently shop at HOCO knowing that your information is securely protected.

Understanding "Secure Website"
Web browsers operate in two modes: "normal" and "secure." You can identify the mode by checking the toolbar at the bottom of your browser window.

Normal Mode: Indicated by a broken key or open padlock, where the information you enter and receive can potentially be accessed by eavesdroppers.
Secure Mode: Represented by a whole key or closed padlock, ensuring that all communication between your browser and the server is encrypted, making it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept it.
It’s important to note that a website in "normal" mode does not necessarily mean that its transactional capabilities are insecure. Only the transactional section of a website requires this security, and the measures ensure the protection of sensitive data.

Digital Certificates
A digital certificate contains essential information, such as the name of a company or individual and the cryptographic key used to encrypt transmitted data. When your browser switches to secure mode, it requests the website's certificate and verifies its trustworthiness based on the issuer. If the browser trusts the certificate, it establishes a secure connection using the provided cryptographic key, ensuring that all communications remain encrypted and protected.
