What is SSL?
SSL is the abbreviation for Secure Socket Layer. This technology protects
communications over the internet from external tapping. In this way confidential
data from forms can be securely uploaded to, and downloaded from, a website. In
addition, a WWW site with SSL is clearly identified to the user. SSL contains a
certificate guaranteeing that the site is genuine and that it links to the firm
that relates to it. When an SSL link is present a key symbol is shown in the browser.
Why SSL?
With SSL the sender and recipient of the data are able to authenticate each
other. At the same time communications are encrypted and thus safeguarded from third
parties.
