Malta's First Internet Shopping Mall
Opened on 12th December 1996

Global Net Internet Service Providers, a division of the Tabone Computer Centre Limited are pleased to announce Malta's First Internet Shopping Mall. This follows the introduction of the First Internet Secure Server; which has now been operating since last September 9th.
Without thorough security, information transmitted over the Internet is susceptible to fraud and other misuse by intermediaries. Information travelling between your computer and a server passes though a communication link using many computer systems around the world. Any one of these computer systems represents an intermediary with the potential to access the flow of information between your computer and a trusted server. You need security to make sure that intermediaries cannot deceive you, eavesdrop on you, copy from you, or damage your communications. The Internet does not provide built-in security. For this reason we have installed a Secure Server.

What is a Secure Server?

A Secure Server acts like a normal Internet Server with the exception that all data transmitted between Client (your computer) and Server (our computer) is Encrypted.
Normally a secure server is used where money transactions involving Credit Card Numbers or other confidential information are delivered over the internet. When you connect to a Secure Server, you can notice the Security Key or Padlock at the bottom of you browser's window. Global Net Secure Server protects your Internet communications with:

• Server authentication (thwarting impostors)
• Privacy using encryption (thwarting eavesdroppers)
• Data integrity (thwarting vandals)
