SSL Certificates
SSL Certificates are increasingly important part of offering secure e-commerce solutions.
With GeoTrust SSL certificates you can start conducting secure online transactions with confidence, quickly and cost-effectively. SSL certificates can be used to secure servers used for Web sites, intranets, extranets and other applications.
What is SSL?
The SSL (secure socket layer) protocol is the web standard for encrypting communications between users and web sites. Data sent via an SSL connection is protected by encryption, a mechanism that prevents eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data. SSL provides businesses and consumers with the confidence that private data sent to a web site, such as credit card numbers, are kept confidential. Web server certificates are required to initialize an SSL session.
How does a server certificate work?
The end-user's browser requests a secure channel (via "https:") from the server, and then - if the server has a cert - the browser and the server negotiate their highest common encryption strength (e.g., 128-bits), and then exchange the corresponding encryption keys (this exchange is normally done using 1024-bit encryption strength). The 128/256-bit encryption key is then used for this particular instance of SSL, for all from-to exchanges between the browser and the server. The next https session will have a new session key.
How can you sell for less than GeoTrust?
It's simple. We've entered into an arrangement with GeoTrust where we buy large blocks of certificates and pass the savings on to you. This is how the majority of all SSL Certificates are sold.
