| What is SSL? (Secure Sockets Layer) |
|
| SSL is an encryption standard that prevents anyone from intercepting and reading the data stream between the client (you) and the server (website). | |
| Transactions through a server using SSL are far safer than using a credit card at a gas station, restaurant or other retail establishment. It is much easier for credit card thieves or unscrupulous employees to sift through trash cans at banks or retailers than to harness the astronomical computing resources necessary to decrypt the bits of secure data transmitted during a secure transaction. | |
| So actually, your greatest risk for exposure is NOT the use of properly secured WWW Sites for financial transactions, but rather your everyday person-to-person transactions. | |
| The server software allows clients (surfers) to access WWW pages using SSL-based security. SSL is an encryption standard that prevents anyone from intercepting and reading the data stream between the client and the server. Thus, SSL is ideal for accepting sensitive data over the Internet, such as credit-card numbers or controlled access passwords. | |
