Subject: Cal Hono Enhances Website Security

Cal Hono recognizes that information security is paramount in an age of instantaneous, worldwide access to confidential client records.

As more and more information is made available to our clients through our web site — and, as other automated information interchange capabilities are being implemented — we have installed a browser-based encryption tool that will transparently encode all web site information exchanges (to and from our systems) to thwart the growing menace of Internet hackers surreptitiously eavesdropping on website traffic.

This mechanism is called 'SSL' (Secure Sockets Layer) and operates entirely automatically to encrypt and validate transmitted and received information. We have received SSL certification from Network Solutions (a well-known Internet registrar) and you will notice an SSL certification seal appearing upon our web pages in the future. This seal, and the underlying processes accompanying our SSL implementation, are your assurance that your important information is kept confidential within the highest standards of Internet business practice.

No action is required upon your part. SSL operates entirely automatically with all Internet browsers. Depending upon the browser version that you are using, you may receive a prompt advising you of the new SSL certification status of Cal Hono's website; or, you may notice a padlock icon appearing in the corner of your browser window.

As always, we value your business!
