Hi,
Am I right in thinking that unless a site has an https address it's
not using encryption? I've always gone by the principle that if a
site doesn't have https at the start of the address I don't fill in
card details. But now there's a site I want to register with which
has a form for filling in my card details as part of the registration
process, but the address of that page is not https, just http. Is my
policy sensible? Can data I send be encrypted if the address isn't
https? I'm not signed in on this site or anywhere else at the time,
this is literally a form I'm filling in to register and the address is
not https.
Catherine
