SSL

Each SSL Certificate consists of a public key and a private key. The public key is used to encrypt information and the private key is used to decipher it. When a Web browser points to a secured domain, a Secure Sockets Layer handshake authenticates the server (Web site) and the client (Web browser). An encryption method is established with a unique session key and secure transmission can begin. True 128-bit SSL Certificates enable every site visitor to experience the strongest SSL encryption available to them.

How SSL Works

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol that provides secure communication between client and server. Here the client is your browser and server is the web site you're communicating with. Secure communication has three main goals: privacy, message integrity, and authentication.

A Typical Scenario

Alice wants to buy a book from Bob's online bookstore. In order to complete the process she'll need to transmit sensitive personal information, such as her credit card number. Alice wants to make sure that the information she sends to Bob is kept confidential (privacy), and cannot be altered along the way (message integrity). She also wants to make sure that she's really sending the information to Bob and not an imposter (authentication).

Privacy

The sensitive information Alice sends to Bob is kept private by cryptography. A plaintext message is encrypted into ciphertext. To anyone who might eavesdrop and intercept the message, the ciphertext is meaningless. It's estimated that trying to crack the ciphertext by brute force alone (trying every possible combination) would take millions of years even if all the computers in the world were linked together to solve the puzzle.
