SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. SSL is a transaction security standard that provides data encryption server authentication and message integrity. SSL will enable your customer's browser to connect to your Web site and transparently negotiate a secure communication channel. Once this connection has been made information like credit card numbers can be exchanged securely. This is incredibly important for your customers; when your order page begins with https they know that they can safely enter vital information without undue fear of it being stolen and the data is locked securely when they send it to you.

The other half of this security equation is the SSL (Digital) Certificate. The SSL certificate is used to encrypt the data and to identify the Web site. Digital certificates are used to prove the site belongs to the proper owner. They do this by containing information about the certificate holder the domain that the certificate was issued to the name of the Certificate Authority who issued the certificate the root and the country it was issued in.

Note that SSL is a means for ensuring credit card transactions are secure. You will need separate software to process credit card transactions.
