Q: Is my personal information secure on issny.org?

A: Yes! ISS utilizes 256 bit encryption to scramble data during transfer and while data is at rest so that it cannot be read by unauthorized parties. This paired with user authentication ensures that your information is only accessible by ISS.

Q: Why does issny.org say that it is insecure?

A: This is because the home page at issny.org does not handle personal user data and it is not currently using the 256 bit encryption that is being utilized by other ISS services that do handle user data.

Q: How can I verify that my connection to issny.org is secure?

A: When visiting web pages, you may notice a small padlock next to the URL at the top of the web page. This padlock icon means that your connection to that website is safe and sound!
