SSL Security

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a protocol that enables a Web browser and a Web server to communicate securely. Security is provided by:

  • Authenticating the Web server to the client using a digital certificate
  • Encrypting all information sent

The SSL protocol requires that the web server should have a digital certificate installed in order to make an SSL connection.

They are ideal for securing internal Web sites or Web sites that conduct low volume and/or low value e-commerce transactions. RapidSSL is a 128 bit single root SSL certificate that ensures about 99 percent browser recognition rates. If your Web site transaction volume or value warrants an SSL certificate from a known brand, or you require advanced site seal technology, please consider our QuickSSL Premium SSL certificate.
