| 1. | GeoTrust provides SSL technology to secure credit card transactions in the My Sharp Knife Shopping Cart. VeriSign acquired Geotrust in 2006. |
The SSL (secure socket layer) protocol is the web standard for encrypting communications between users and web sites. Data sent via an SSL connection is protected by encryption, a mechanism that prevents eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data. SSL provides businesses and consumers with the confidence that private data sent to a web site, such as credit card numbers, are kept confidential. Web server certificates are required to initialize an SSL session. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unintelligible to all but the intended recipient. Encryption is the basis of data integrity and privacy necessary for e-commerce. Customers will submit sensitive information and transactions to My Sharp Knife via the Web only when they are confident that their sensitive information is secure. The solution for businesses that are serious about e-commerce is to implement a trust infrastructure based on encryption technology. SSL technology is used to encrypt and protect information transmitted over the Web with the ubiquitous HTTP protocol. SSL provides your Web site’s users with the assurance of access to a valid, “non-spoofed” site, and it prevents data interception or tampering with sensitive information. Support for SSL is built into all major operating systems, Web applications, and server hardware—meaning that your business can use SSL for its powerful encryption capabilities and the increased consumer confidence. SSL Certificates are just the thing to protect sensitive data transmitted between your servers and My Sharp Knife customers.
