Is My Information Secure?

The Canadian Firearms Information System web site uses the Entrust SSL Security Solution which provides secure e-commerce on the Internet. Through its Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Web certificates, the solution identifies a Web site and encrypts communications between the browser and Web server. The Entrust SSL Security Solution delivers strong Web SSL security, trusted verification of the Web site's identity and 128-bit SSL data encryption during browser to Web server transmission. This is based on the same technology as numerous internet banking sites and offers a high level of security.

Individual and business clients are further protected by PIN and BIN passwords to access their data. There are processes in place to detect hackers and prevent them from breaking into your information. In addition image verification security has been added to some areas of the web site to enhance an already secure service.
