128-bit Encryption - The latest Internet security standard for e-commerce and financial transactions, 128-bit encryption scrambles any data you send to a secure Web site (like TDS ePay) so that no one can read it without being authorized to do so. Encryption ensures that you are sending your information to a reputable business and not a "hacker" or "spoof" site. As a comparison, 128-bit encryption provides several trillion times better security protection than the 40-bit encryption used just a few years ago.
