. The 128-bit SSL Certificate
Has Become Standard For E-commerce-Enabled Web Sites
An SSL Certificate is a 128-bit SSL security tool to assist with
e-commerce or other secure communications on the Web. As used in SSL
secured Internet transactions, an SSL Certificate provides the following:
Confirmation of Identity
SSL Certificates provide every assurance that the only one who will
receive secure information is the same person or organization for which
the communication was intended.
Non-interception
The user's information cannot be intercepted or interpreted between the
user's browser and the intended server.
The assurances provided through the use of by SSL Certificates are a
necessity for all e-commerce implementations and any communication in
which confidential information is exchanged. Those browsing the Internet
can rest assured that their communications are secured by a properly
authenticated SSL Certificate as evidenced by the appearance of a little
padlock in the frame of their Internet browser.
An SSL Certificate is an identity statement that is digitally signed by a
certification authority that uses a properly authenticated private key and
public key pair to bind a public key to an identity. This provides
independent confirmation of identity. More formally, a certificate is a
computer-based record that:
1. Identifies the certification authority that issued it
2. Names, identifies, or otherwise describes an attribute of the
subscriber
3. Contains the subscriber's public key
4. Contains the digital signature of the certification authority that
issued it
5. Provides a date range over which the certificate is valid
To obtain an SSL Certificate, a private key and public key pair must be
generated on the server and then authenticated by a certificate authority
that has the required recognition in the browser software.
