Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): this protocol is designed to create a secure connection to the server. SSL uses public key encryption, one of the strongest encryption methods around, to protect data as it travels over the Internet. SSL was created by Netscape but has now been published in the public domain.
Experts say e-commerce transactions are safer than ordinary credit card purchases. Every time you pay with a credit card at a store, in a restaurant, or over the phone--and every time you throw away a credit card receipt--you make yourself vulnerable to fraud. But in version 2.0 (or later) of Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, transactions can be encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), protecting the information as it travels over the Internet. In Navigator, you can tell that you're in the secure mode when an unbroken key appears on the bottom left corner of your browser window. Internet Explorer displays a padlock on the bottom right of the screen. Another way to tell that a Web site is secured by SSL is when the URL begins with https:
A digital certificate contains the name of a company, Web site or individual,
along with a cryptographic key that can be used to encrypt information that must
be sent to that individual. When your browser switches into secure mode,
it asks the Web site to present its certificate. The browser decides
whether or not it trusts the certificate by looking at who issued it. If
the browser trusts the certificate (as it does those issued by Thawte &
Verisign), then it
will encrypt all communications with that Web site, using the cryptographic key
in the certificate. Your data is thereby protected.
Thawte Web Server SSL Certificates are used on more than 10,000 sites world
wide. An independent survey found Thawte certificates on more than 30% of the
active e-commerce servers on the net . More than 90% of Fortune 500 companies
use SSL security to protect their sensitive information.
Thawte SSL certificates are compatible with all recent browsers, including
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x and Netscape Communicator 4.x. Thawte maintains
a browser compatibility list here.
