    1. What's a Safe Server?
    A safe server is a processor that provides access and data storage at internet web which fulfils the technical and legal encryption rules of the data it administrates.

    The data encryption is a "camouflage" mechanism for the specific information knowledgeable only between the customer and the safe server throughout the whole sending and receiving procedure of this data.

    The technical bases of the encryption procedure are known as protocol.

    Puntaweb's Puntaweb Hotels safe server uses the SSL (secure socket layer) protocol.
    2. The security certificate
    Legally, a third independent entity, dispatches an identity certificate that verifies that a determined server fulfills every technical and legal rules under an encryption protocol.

    At the same time, it verifies that there is NOT two safe servers with the same identity.

    And allows the customer's browser to corroborate its temporal validity.

    Puntaweb's Puntaweb Hotels safe server is fog.he.net

    The certifying entity is Thawte.
    3. How to see the security certificate
    Some particular reservation request procedures are made under safe server.

    Those procedures that do not imply traffic of the personal and commercial data from the customer that is making a reservation request have no technical necessity to be done under safe server.

    In all the cases, the internet browser that is being used will inform the customer if the procedure is being made under safe server or not.

    This can be noticed at your browser's status bar, where a locked padlock will appear on the security inscription and the same locked padlock will also appear in your screen's lower left corner.

    In both cases clicking on these icons your browser will spread all the necessary information about security protocols.

    You will have an option to see the certificate where you will be able to consult its details and make sure that it is issued and valid by Thawte to the server fog.he.net of the safe site Puntaweb Hotels at Puntaweb.com.
    4. What is a Safe Site?
    The group of files and data hosted in a server that uses SSL technology to encrypt the data traffic between the customer and the server constitute a safe site.

    The data is encrypted with an algorithm that can only be understood by the pair customer-server, ensuring that third parties that eventually intercept the information can not understand its meaning.
