Dear OmegaNet Clients:
As promised, we are instituting a totally new credit card security system with “strong” 2048-bit encryption (standard is 128-bit). We have been working on it for several weeks and it is now ready to install. When the initial set up is completed, you will be able to turn on credit cards as a payment method in your Admin Console > Account Setup > Billing Options.

Instructions for initial set up and using the system are linked in the Admin Console.

The system requires that you generate a private key and save it to a small-capcity, dedicated flash drive/thumb drive and store securely in case you need to retrieve orders on a different computer or in case your computer crashes. If you do not have an empty flash drive we require that you get one for this setup.

It also requires you to create a strong passphrase which you will remember, write down and store securely but DO NOT save it to your computer.

Initial set up is easy and quick but it means that no one other than your authorized personnel will be able to decrypt the credit card information in your orders even if they guessed your Admin Console password.

We will be contacting you to walk you through the process or you may call us when you are ready. We have instructions linked on the pages in the Admin Console.
