ICONSnet User Guide: Exiting and Security Issues

ICONS Homepage

Exiting the Simulation

To exit the simulation, click the Exit Simulation button.  To prevent anyone from using your browser history files on your computer to access the system, you must close your web browser. It is important to exit the simulation properly, so that no one using the computer after you can access your messages.

Security

ICONSnet runs on a secure server, which means that all transactions between your computer and the ICONSnet server are encrypted.  This ensures that all input you send to the ICONSnet server will be private.   The only way that someone can access your password or your messages is if you do not exit the system properly after use.  For information about logging in using a secure server, see Logging In.
