Security
AHIMA uses the 128-bit secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security protocol, which
is an industry standard tool used to provide data encryption. SSL protects
the personal information transmitted from your computer to AHIMA, allowing
for safe transmission of credit card information over the Internet.
Our e-commerce/SSL application server works with most web browsers
(Netscape version 7.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5
or higher are required); however, AHIMA recommends that you try
to use the latest versions of browser software.
There are two ways to verify that your credit card information is secure:
- The address line or URL of the secure page starts with "https" (i.e., https://secure.ahima.org/quiz/quiz2.html).
- You will see an unbroken key or closed lock, usually in the lower left corner or lower right corner of your browser screen.
If you receive an error message when trying to enter a secure page,
it may be blocked by your company's firewall. Ask your system administrator
to reconfigure the firewall to open port 443, which is the port
used for secure http.
New Security Measures
In order to reduce the need to rekey your personal information,
our secure server stores your information in a database based on
unique session ID numbers. However, this information expires after
a two-hour period, so you will need to rekey your information if
more than two hours elapse between the completion of one quiz and
the taking of another.
