Secure Payment
The www.mtiautomation.com payment service allows you to make on-the-spot purchases by credit card. This service guarantees a high level of security, reliability and efficiency. The www.mtiautomation.com website has a number of features that ensure your financial transaction is processed securely.
HERE ARE THE MAIN FEATURES
Secure
transmission
of
the
credit
card
number
to
the
payment
server,
which,
for
authorization
purposes,
redirects
the
transaction
to
the
institution
that
issued
the
card;
Encryption
of
the
information
sent
over
the
Internet;
and
Immediate
processing
of
the
request
to
authorize
the
amount
of
the
purchase.
PAYMENT FORM
When you use the www.mtiautomation.com payment form, the information retrieved from your credit card is transmitted over the Internet using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol. This protocol used by your browser enables secured transmission of information via the Internet to the payment service.
ENCRYPTION AND BROWSERS
Encryption
consists
of
turning
clearly
worded
text
into
unintelligible
text
(a
cryptogram)
using
cryptographic
techniques
such
as
algorithms
and
a
key.
Access
to
a
secret
key
is
necessary
to
decode
the
information.
Cryptographic
systems
use
a
variable
length
key.
Here
is
how
you
can
be
sure
the
information
is
being
transmitted
securely:
Depending
on
your
browser,
a
small
locked
padlock
appears
in
either
the
address
bar
or
status
bar
when
you
are
connected
to
a
secure
website;
When
the
session
switches
to
encrypted
mode,
you
will
see
in
the
address
bar
that
the
address
http://sqdc.ca
becomes
https://sqdc.ca,
indicating
that
the
SSL
(Secure
Socket
Layer)
protocol
is
being
used
to
transmit
information
securely.
CRYPTOGRAPHY
Cryptography
is
the
science
of
encrypting
messages
so
that
the
content
can
be
understood
only
by
the
designated
recipient.
Encryption
in
various
forms
has
been
used
since
time
immemorial.
Today,
encryption
is
used
to
transmit
digital
data
via
a
computer
network
or,
increasingly,
to
ensure
the
confidentiality
of
important
files
stored
on
your
computer.
Clearly
worded
text
is
turned
into
unintelligible
text
using
complex
mathematical
algorithms
and
cryptograms
known
as
keys.
A
reverse
operation
is
applied
for
decryption.
Security
experts
foresee
a
growing
use
of
encryption
for
non-classified
computer
data.
Encryption
can
be
either
symmetrical
or
asymmetrical.
In
symmetrical
encryption,
the
same
key
is
used
for
both
encrypting
and
decrypting.
The
sender
has
to
convey
the
key
to
the
recipient
with
the
utmost
security.
Asymmetrical
encryption
requires
one
key
for
encrypting
and
another
for
decrypting.
Decrypting
requires
knowing
both
keys,
as
one
cannot
be
deduced
from
the
other.
To
send
an
encrypted
message,
the
sender
uses
the
encryption
key,
commonly
known
as
a
public
key.
The
recipient
can
only
decrypt
the
message
by
using
a
decryption
key,
commonly
known
as
a
private
key.
No
keys
change
hands
when
this
method
is
used.
However,
it
requires
more
time
than
symmetrical
encryption.
The
www.mtiautomation.com
payment
service
uses
asymmetrical
encryption,
which
ensures
your
credit
card
number
is
transmitted
securely
over
the
Internet.
PAYING FOR YOUR PURCHASES
At the time of payment, www.mtiautomation.com displays a form on which you are asked to enter your credit card number, the expiry date (month/year) and the security code.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SECURITY CODE
Most major credit cards offer an additional security feature for online purchases, called the security code. The security code consists of three or four numbers (embossed on the front of the card or printed on the signature strip) that allows for cryptographic control of the information and protects the card owner against fraud. When making online purchases, entering these numbers proves that the card is authentic. As the security code is not contained on the card’s magnetic stripe, it does not appear on transaction receipts. To guarantee confidentiality, the information you enter on the SQDC.ca payment form is encrypted before being transmitted over the Internet. The encrypted information is then sent to the financial institution for immediate processing. This guarantees that your credit card information is kept strictly confidential.
BEWARE OF FRAUDULENT EMAIL MESSAGES
The
sending
of
fraudulent
email
messages
(phishing*)
is
a
technique
used
by
scammers
to
try
to
reroute
funds
by
usurping
the
identities
of
established
companies.
Scammers
do
this
by
sending
authentic-looking
email
messages
to
obtain
personal
information
from
recipients.
Please
note
that
the
MTI
AUTOMATION
QUEBEC
never
sends
email
messages
requesting
personal
information
such
as
your
address,
date
of
birth
or
credit
card
number..
If
you
ever
receive
an
email
message
that
appears
to
come
from
the
MTI
AUTOMATION
QUEBEC
and
asks
for
such
information,
do
not
reply
to
it.
