Security
|
When you log in to the University Libraries website, your username and password are submitted to
Information Technology's authentication servers to verify your identity. This information is
transmitted securely, and is encrypted and protected by a digitial security certificate from ipsCA.
|
When you log in, you may see a message that indicates you are being redirected to an insecure site. This
does not mean your information is at risk. Rather, this is telling you that after your login information has been
sent securely, you are returning to a non-encrypted browser session. Although you could browse the University Libraries
web pages in a secure session, this would slow navigation of the website. For that reason, the only time information
from you is encrypted is during your login to the website.
