What is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard security
technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a
browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web
server and browser remain private and integral. SSL is an industry
standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of
their online transactions with their customers. In order to be able
to generate an SSL link, a web server requires an SSL Certificate.
All SSL Certificates are issued to either companies or legally
accountable individuals. Typically an SSL Certificate will contain
your domain name, your company name, your address, your city, your
state and your country. It will also contain the expiry date of the
Certificate and details of the Certification Authority responsible
for the issuance of the Certificate.
When a browser connects to a secure site it will retrieve the
site's SSL Certificate and check that it has not expired, it has
been issued by a Certification Authority the browser trusts, and
that it is being used by the website for which it has been issued.
If it fails on any one of these checks the browser will display a
warning to the end user.
Why you need security for your site
The Internet has created many new global business opportunities for
enterprises conducting online commerce. However, the many security
risks associated with conducting e-commerce have resulted in
security becoming a major factor for online success or failure.
Over the past 7 years, consumer magazines, industry bodies and
security providers have educated the market on the basics of online
security. The majority of consumers now expect security to be
integrated into any online service they use, as a result they expect
any details they provide via the Internet to remain confidential and
integral. For many customers, the only time they will ever consider
buying your products or services online is when they are satisfied
their details are secure.
Using SSL Certificates to secure your online transactions tells
your customers you take their security seriously. They will visibly
see that their online transaction will be secure, confidential and
integral and give them the confidence that you have removed the risk
associated with trading over the Internet.
Using Security helps you realize the benefits of online
commerce:
- Cost effectiveness of online operations and delivery
- Open global markets - gain customers from all over the world
- New and exciting ways of marketing directly to your customers
- Offer new data products and services via the Web
