Ah, the Internet, probably the most useful information provider in the world but how safe is it? How secure are the web sites that we regularly send our contact and credit card details to? Whether we’re buying a book from a retail website or bidding in an online auction, we all send valuable information down the phone line. Once this information is electronically encrypted during the transfer, it’s then physically stored on a server at that address and that’s where it’s vulnerable.

Enter AL Digital, the authors of SSL; the Internet’s most widely used electronically encryption software. The company has recently bought the most secure location in Great Britain, an ex-Ministry Of Defence military bunker (www.thebunker.co.uk) and taken this information 300 feet underground.

A representative of AL Digital said the following, “We found that we were getting paid to lock down and secure Internet sites and servers. But no attention was being paid to the physical security of the boxes themselves, so we wanted to set-up a secure serving facility”.

In server rooms, that used to store military computers, there now stand the data banks of commercial Internet sites safe from theft, fraud and industrial espionage.

“We have 3 meter thick re-enforced concrete walls and gas tight doors mechanically sealed airlocks. Most of our systems are triple-redundant, so we have a main, a standby and a standby for the standby, so we don’t need our own backup systems until we have 2 power cuts”.

Server rooms in the bunker are each individually protected by special cages. These are hermetically sealed airlocks that separate two rooms. Open one door and the next is automatically locked until you close the first. With the walls lined with steel, the cage physically and electronically isolates the two areas, providing protecting from all forms of electronic eavesdropping.

These rooms are so secure that even the clients themselves aren’t allowed in, with millions of dollars worth of business deals passing through.

“You may be talking about medical records, stuff that should be kept private, transactions that should be kept secret. Financial transactions involving people’s accounts or involving credit cards so on and so forth”.

Behind the walls could be information concerning the bulk of Great Britain’s E-Commerce. So, the next time you buy online, just hope that the website you deal with doesn’t store your personal details on a server in an office with the door open.

Ah, no point worrying about it. If the Government or any power wants us dead, or to be "dealt with", then that's what's going to happen.
