SECURITY

Why your transaction with Patriot Mortgage is secure
There are two major types of security risks in sending data over the Internet: Eavesdropping and Impersonation. Patriot Mortgage uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL for short) to combat both of these risks. SSL has been standard equipment on browsers several years. If your computer has version 4 or higher of Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer or AOL you have SSL.

Protection from impersonation
SSL server authentication allows your browser to confirm a server's identity. Using standard techniques of public-key cryptography, it checks that the server's certificate and public ID are valid and have been issued by a certificate authority (CA) listed in the browser's list of trusted CAs. Patriot Mortgage is registered with GEOTRUST and has obtained digital certificates for www.patriotmortgage.com and its subdomains.

Protection from eavesdropping
An SSL connection encrypts all information sent between your browser and our server. This provides an extremely high degree of confidentiality. In addition, all data sent over an encrypted SSL connection is protected with a mechanism for detecting tampering--that is, for automatically determining whether the data has been altered in transit.

How you can be sure
Patriot Mortgage uses SSL whenever sensitive information is sent or received from your computer. When you see the Key (Netscape) or Lock (Internet Explorer or AOL) you can be sure that it really is Patriot Mortgage, and not an imposter. You can also be sure that nobody else can see or alter your information in transit.
