vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from Kalera Stratton :
]Hmmm. Moxley is a web commerce developer, and his information is that it ]does no such thing. He says it has NO effect on anything besides the ]pop-up that says your information is not secure.
okay. david is also. david said the "pop-up" stopper and the actual secure interface [htmls] are two different things. it's the encryption part that is important. note: there is NO way anyone can prevent misuse of information once it has been given to a store. what the encryption does is prevent it from being "trapped" by a third party between you and the secure server.
