What is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology is a security protocol. It is today's de-facto standard for securing communications and transactions across the Internet. SSL has been implemented in all the major browsers and Web servers, and as such plays a major role in today's e-commerce and e-business activities on the Web. The SSL protocol uses digital certificates to create a secure, confidential communications "pipe" between two entities. Data transmitted over an SSL connection can not be tampered with or forged without the two parties becoming immediately aware of the tampering. support@mercuryd.com |
