Is my confidential information secure?
Whenever Berkshire Hathaway Group asks you to send confidential information over
the Internet, including personal account data (such as Social
Security Number, Address etc.), we require that a "secure session"
using SSL be established. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the prevailing industry
standard for protecting data across the internet.
What is a "secure session" and how does it help keep my
information safe?
During a secure SSL session, data passed
back and forth between your computer and Berkshire Hathaway systems
is secured by using public key cryptography. Your computer exchanges
key information with Berkshire Hathaway Group computers to create a private
conversation that only your computer and Berkshire Hathaway Group systems
can understand.
What type of browser do I need?
To benefit from SSL technology, you will need a browser with SSL capabilities.
Examples of SSL browsers include Netscape 3.0 and above, Microsoft's Internet
Explorer 3.02 and above, and America Online 3.0 and above. (Note that some older
versions of browsers will not support SSL sessions).
