Hyper
Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a secure version of the Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol (http). HTTPS allows secure ecommerce transactions,
such as online banking.
Web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox display a
padlock icon to indicate that the website is secure, as it also displays
https:// in the address bar.
When a user connects to a website via HTTPS, the website encrypts the session with a Digital Certificate. A user can tell if they are connected to a secure website if the website URL begins with https:// instead of http://.
How Does SSL Work?
Secure
Sockets Layer uses a cryptography system that encrypts data with two keys.
When a
SSL Digital Certificate is installed on a web site, users can see a padlock
icon at the bottom area of the navigator. When an Extended Validation
Certificates is installed on a web site, users with the latest versions of
Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera will see the green address bar at the URL
area of the navigator.
Users on
sites with SSL Certificates will also see https:// in the address bar during an
eCommerce transaction.
Why Is A
SSL Certificate Required?
With
booming Internet trends and fraud, most will not submit their private details
on the web unless they know that the information they provide is securely
transmitted and not accessible for anyone to view.
