Public and Private Keys to Privacy
An SSL Certificate consists of a public key and a private key. The public key is used to encrypt information and the private key is used to decipher it. When a browser points to a secured domain, a secure sockets layer handshake authenticates the server and the client and establishes an encryption method and a unique session key. They can begin a secure session that guarantees message privacy and message integrity.
Don’t Reveal Yourself on the Internet
Without SSL encryption, packets of information travel networks in full view. Imagine sending mail through the postal system in a clear envelope. Anyone with access to it can see the data. If it looks valuable, they might take it or change it.
Without third-party verification, how do you know a Web site is an authentic representative of a business you trust? Every SSL Certificate is created for a particular server in a specific domain for a verified business entity. Like a passport or a driver’s license, an SSL Certificate is issued by a trusted authority. When the SSL handshake occurs, the browser requires authentication from the server. If the information does not match or the certificate has expired, the browser displays an error message.
Not All Encryption Is Created Equal
Without an SSL-enabled certificate in place, Web site visitors using certain older browsers and many Windows 2000 users will only receive 40- or 56-bit encryption. we at the TheDiscountSexToys.com provide
256 - bit encryption and soon we will switch to 256 - bit encryption.
256-bit
encryption offers 388 times as many possible combinations as 40-bit encryption. That’s over a trillion times stronger.
