Kadent Healthcare uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. SSL incorporates data encryption which means that the information you send is scrambled making it unreadable to someone who may be trying to intercept your connection. This is done through complex mathematical algorithms, which turn your information into a data stream that requires a software key to read. Kadent Healthcare uses up to 256-bit encryption, the highest encryption available to non-government websites, and the same level of security used by banks.
How do I know my data is secure?
With Microsoft Internet Explorer a lock in the upper-right-hand corner of the address bar 
indicates that you have a secure connection.
If you don't see this lock , then regardless of any security statement on a given website, your connection is not secure.
If you use Firefox, an encrypted session is indicated with a closed lock 
in the very right-hand side of the web address bar..
Another way to tell is to look at the URL in the location bar of the browser. For you the user, communication with a secure site is simple: when you specify the URL use
https:// instead of http://. 
The Kadent Healthcare secure site (www.charitycareonline.com) requires that you use https:// and will reject all attempts to access it using a non-secure http:// connection.
