About Internet Security
When you visit a web site, a small file called a "cookie" may be saved to your computer's hard drive during your visit. When you revisit the site, the web site's server may open the cookie file and access the stored information. You can usually set your browser to limit or let you know about cookies that web sitete places on your computer.
Recent versions of most internet browsers support the encrypted transmission of online documents and the data you enter on a web page. This means that instead of sending readable text, both your browser and thweb sitete's secure server encode all text using a security key. That way, personal data sent to your browser or data you send back would be extremely difficult to decode in the unlikely event it was intercepted by an unauthorized party. The key used
for encoding is a random number that is unique to your session at the secweb sitesite.
There are two grades of internet security: International-grade encryption uses a 40-bit random number negotiated between your browser and the web-server. This means that only one out of about 1,000,000,000,000 possible decoding keys can be used to decipher your data. Domestic-grade encryption uses a 128-bit key, so that the number of possible keys is vastly larger. Mortgages First, LLC uses the highest grade of encryption supported by your browser and
your internet connection.
