Risk Management Information System (RMIS)
Secure Socket layer (SSL) Data Encryption
Encryption is the process of converting data into a secure format
for transmission over the Internet. Encryption scrambles data that
is sent from our web site to you. Your browser must be capable of
decrypting, or unscrambling, the data.
In order to access SORM's RMIS site and it's sub-systems, your
browser must support 256-bit SSL encryption for protection of data
during transmission over the Internet. All modern Web standards
compliant browsers provide 256-bit encryption support.
Why we require 256-bit encryption
The use of 256-bit encryption has become the standard for secure
data transmissions over the Internet. SORM has chosen to use Verisign's
industry leading encryption technology to secure critical
data transmissions.
How to tell if a web page is under an SSL session
The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address will include an "S"
after the "HTTP" and a closed padlock image will
be displayed, normally in the bottom menu bar of your browser.
Tips on how to upgrade your browser:
Go to the web site for the browser of your choice, and download
the latest version. IMPORTANT: You may want to
back-up e-mails, bookmarks and address books before upgrading. The
upgrade process could delete these items.
All modern browsers that support 256-bit encryption are generally
available as a free download.
