SSL Certificates

Short for Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol developed for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL uses a cryptographic system that uses two keys to encrypt data - a public key known to everyone and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message. All of today's browsers support SSL, and many websites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers.
