Car Nexus uses state-of-the-art security

The information you enter will be encrypted and securely transmitted.

Why your transaction with Car Nexus is secure
There are two major types of security risks in sending data over the Internet: eavesdropping and impersonation. Car Nexus uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL for short) to combat both of these risks. SSL has been standard equipment on browsers for several years. If your computer has version 4 or higher of Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer or AOL you have SSL.

Protection from impersonation
SSL server authentication allows your browser to confirm a server's identity. Using standard techniques of public-key cryptography, it checks that the server's certificate and public ID are valid and have been issued by a certificate authority (CA) listed in the browser's list of trusted CAs. Car Nexus is registered and has obtained digital certificates for www.carnexus.com and its subdomains.

Protection from eavesdropping
An SSL connection encrypts all information sent between your browser and our server. This provides an extremely high degree of confidentiality. In addition, all data sent over an encrypted SSL connection is protected with a mechanism for detecting tampering--that is, for automatically determining whether the data has been altered in transit.

Once you are in the loan application page, you can verify that your session is secure in two ways:

•     Look for the small padlock icon, usually lcoated in the lower right corner of your web browser window.  A closed or locked padlock indicates a secure connection.

• Look for the letters "https://"at the beginning of the web site address or URL in your Web browser.  The "s" means secure.
