The location of the seal of security (closed padlock) varies depending on the Web browser that you use. For some browsers, you will not see it unless you have activated its display in the browser's status bar.
Example: In Internet Explorer 7, the seal of security is displayed in the status bar, in the lower right area of the browser window.
You can click on the padlock to display a security certificate for the site. You will see the name of the site owner (for example, wwwa.rrq.gouv.qc.ca) and the certificate's validity period.
