SSL Certificates
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and is a means for ensuring credit.
SSL is a transaction security standard that provides data encryption server authentication and message integrity.
Secure Your Site with SSL
A dedicated SSL digital certificate will allow you and your customers to conduct Internet transactions referencing a secure URL at your own domain name: https://www.YOUR-DOMAIN.com. Adding SSL to your website lets your customers know their personal information is safe and transactions are secure in two ways. First, an https prefix will display in their address bar to identify your site as protected. And secondly, a certificate will be issued to encrypt data transfers like credit card numbers, and to identify your website as matching information on file with the Certificate Authority.
GeoTrust is the world's second largest digital certificate provider with more than 100,000 customers in over 150 countries. Several options are available, capable of up to 256 bit encryption.
