What is SSL Certificate? |
SSL is protocol developed by Netscape for
transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL
works by using a private key to encrypt data that's
transferred over the SSL connection. Both Netscape
Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many
Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential
user information, such as credit card numbers. By
convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start
with https: instead of http:.

Who needs a SSL Certificate? |
Any website that stores "sensitive"
information like Credit Card numbers, personal information
about other people (like names and addresses, Identity
Numbers, Passwords etc) or sensitive company information,
should only acquire the data from the individual via
a secure connection. Not only is a secure connection
important to protect you (the website owner) from
fraud, but it is essential to protect your customers
and staff from fraud as well.
Why is it important?
Firstly, when you enter data (including
passwords, credit card numbers) over a non-secure
internet connection, the data is transmitted from
your PC to the destination server in plain text. The
fact that your browser shows a bunch of '******' for
the password is simply what it shows you. Your password
is still being transmitted as plain text!
So what does it matter?
Any data transmitted over the internet
as plain text can be intercepted. It's as simple as
that. A person with malicious intentions simply has
to listen on the right ports or look in the right
places to read exactly what you entered. If that data
happened to be your password or your credit card number
... well, you can guess what happens after that.
128-bit encryption - Cryptographers
consider 128-bit encryption practically impossible
to crack (it would take millions of years with the
fastest computers to try all the combinations). With
128-bit encryption you can ensure that your international
customer base will be able to exchange information
with you using the strongest possible encryption.

How does SSL Work? |
- Client requests for secure resource.
- Web-server presents its certificate.
- Client verifies the certificate.
- Client generates a Session Key (40, 56 or 128bit).
- Client extracts the public key from the web
server certificate and encrypts the session key.
- Client then sends encrypted key back to the
Web-server.
- Web- server decrypts the session key and both
now have a common key for that session.
- Both the web-site and the client can now communicate
securely.
- When the browser closes the window or server
drops the connection the session is terminated.
- Next time browser comes back to the same page
a new session key is generated.
