Security and PayPal
The core of PayPal’s business and its top priority is the security of your information, transactions, and money.

PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to their site, their server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.

Once your information reaches PayPal, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. PayPal’s servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorised computers.
