Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
  1. The industry standard method for protecting web communications develpoped by Netscape communications corporation
  2. The SSL security portocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity and optional clienmt authentication for a TCP/IP connection
  3. Because SSL is built into all major browser and web servers, simply installing adigital certificate , turns on their SSL capabilities
  4. SSL comes in twp strenghts, 40-bit and 128-bit, which refere ti the lenmgth of the sesion key generat3ed by every encrypteed transaction
  5. The longer the key, the more doifficult its is tobreak the encryption code
  6. MOst browsers support 40-bit SSL sessions and latest browsers including Netscaoe Communicator 4.0, enable users to encrypt transactions in 128-bit sesssions - trillions of time stronger than 40-bit sessions
  7. Global compankies thta require international transactions over the web can use global server certificate program to offer strong encryption to their customers
