SSL Certificates enable you to offer a secure link to
your site, especially useful for online commerce or payment facilities.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a protocol developed by Netscape in 1996 which quickly
became the method of choice for securing data transmissions across the Internet.
SSL is an integral part of most Web browsers and Web servers and makes use of the
public-and-private key encryption system developed by Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman.
In order to make an SSL connection, the SSL protocol requires that a server should
have a digital certificate installed. A digital certificate is an electronic file
that uniquely identifies individuals and servers. Digital certificates serve as
a kind of digital passport or credential which authenticate the server prior to
the SSL session being established.
Typically, digital certificates are signed by an independent and trusted third party
to ensure their validity. The "signer" of a certificate is known as a Certification
Authority (CA), such as VeriSign, thawte and GeoTrust.
