How Do Secure Sockets Layer Certificates Work?

Internet security is priority number 1 for everybody who buys services online, and your customers will expect nothing but the highest possible level of security when they purchase your products.

What Does SSL Mean?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that shields your online store or logon page. The SSL certificates, also known as digital certificates, encrypt the sensitive info requested from site visitors such as address, date of birth, national identity number, driver's license or bank account details, so that nobody could use this information for illegal purposes.

Your website visitors can identify a secure website by the ‘https' component at the beginning of the website address, or by the lock symbol in the web browser window, or by a special seal on the site.

The SSLs feature 256-bit encryption, and include a $10 000 warranty and a site seal for your web site. You are required to get a dedicated IP address.
