What is SSL?

With an SSL certificate installed on your website you can start conducting secure online transactions with confidence quickly and cost effectively. By activating the browser's "Lock" icon, the certificate enables encryption of data between the web server and the site user and assures online visitors that confidential information and transactions cannot be viewed, intercepted or altered.

The 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 issues by a certificate authority (CA) such as Verisign, listed in the client software's list of trusted CA's. SSL server authentication is vital for secure e-commerce transactions.
