When using the Mt. Olivet Tithes & Offering Page, your credit card number is entered into the order form and transmitted in an encrypted (scrambled) form. The information is not decoded until Skipjack receives it.

Mt. Olivet uses Skipjack Secured Servers for all our order pages where you enter your personal information.

Skipjack uses secure servers to protect your personal information, including your name, address, and credit card information.

Skipjack Merchant Services employs a patent-pending, proprietary encryption protocol, specifically designed for handling financial transactions. Skipjack is not a 'public key' solution, like PGP (Pretty Good Protection) or RSA. A 'key' is a way to decrypt an encrypted message. Both the encryption and decryption is dependant on this key. The range of values of a key is called the 'key space'. The larger the key space, the more complicated the key is to find, figure out, and thus break the encrypted message. Both PGP and RSA support a key space of 2 to the 2048 power (approx. 3.231700607131100730071487668867e+616). Skipjack encryption, on the other hand, supports a minimum key space of 225 to the 2000 power (approx. 2.3175879424308238852318431378737e+4704). This number is practically incalculable; comparable perhaps to calculating the total number of atoms in the universe!

In addition to the magnitude of the key space, each transaction encrypted with Skipjack carries its own key contained within it. Even in the unlikely event that one transaction is compromised, that information cannot be used to compromise another transaction, since each key is unique to each transaction.

Transaction-specific keys combined with the extremely large key space make it nearly impossible to break even one transaction by brute force techniques. With Skipjack, your Internet credit-card transactions are protected by the strongest encryption protocol in the industry.
