The central idea of SSL certificates, which are used to encrypt HTTPS traffic, is that there must be a "web of trust" between the certificate of a Web site (such as HepForge) and a trusted certificate in your Web browser.

Instead, your browser will cause a popup dialogue to appear with assurance you are about to enter a "secure connection" when you click on any of our links to the online Order Forms.

Using an https: URL indicates that HTTP is to be used, but with additional security measures applied to the transactions. This system was invented by Netscape Communications Corporation to provide authentication and encrypted communication and is widely used on the Web for security-sensitive communication, such as payment transactions.
