Online shoppers demand security for their transactions. The Secure Socket Layer (or SSL) protocol has become the universal language for encrypting information. An SSL certificate is the gold standard in online security and consumer peace of mind. EmailHosting.com lets you get real 128-bit SSL certificates in ten minutes or less.
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol has become the universal standard on the Web for authenticating sites and for encrypting communications between users and Web servers. Because SSL is built into all major browsers and web servers, simply installing a digital certificate or Server ID enables SSL capabilities.
SSL server authentication allows users to confirm a Web server's identity. SSL-enabled
client software, such as a web browser, can automatically check that a server's certificate and public ID are valid and have been issued by a certificate authority (CA) listed in the client software's list of trusted CAs. SSL server authentication is vital for secure e-commerce transactions.
An encrypted SSL connection
requires all information sent
between a client and a server
to be encrypted by the sending
software and decrypted by the
receiving software. In addition,
all data sent over an encrypted SSL connection is
protected with a mechanism for detecting whether
the data has been altered in transit. This means
that users can confidently send private data such
as credit card numbers to a website trusting that
SSL keeps it private and confidential.
