Online Transactions and Paying through Protx
Travel and Tourism Publishing Limited uses Protx, the secure online payments provider, to collect and process your credit/debit card details for online transactions. We do not hold your credit/debit card details on our site in any way.
How does Protx work?
Protx provides a secure, encrypted gateway between the vendor and the bank. It enables people to purchase products online with the knowledge that their credit card details will be secure.
How secure is Protx?
All of the Protx solutions use high levels of encryption. Protx has been audited and approved by all of the major UK acquiring banks which require Protx to adhere to all APACS standards.
Protx have also been audited and accredited under the Visa Account Information Security (AIS) audit that specifically examines security of credit card details processed and stored by Protx.
Protx security measures
Protx provides very high levels of internet and physical security to ensure sensitive information is never compromised.
- credit/debit card details are secured within 128-bit encrypted sessions.
- sensitive information is stored on a heavily encrypted database that is protected by multiple government approved firewalls.
- additional security measures include a security key that is used to produce an MD5 hash value. Hash values are often used as digital signatures as they cannot be reversed to obtain the original information. They allow the receiver to validate that the information received is identical to that sent.
Protx VSP is designed so the vendor doesn't have to hold sensitive information on their site. Should anyone gain unauthorised access to their database the information they obtain will not allow them to recover credit card details or other sensitive information.
The possibility of obtaining sensitive information from the Protx VSP database is minimised due to high levels of encryption; firewall security and the measures taken to ensure the information is indecipherable.
