Any website to be offering online ordering facility or processing of confidential data indicates an SSL Certificate need. By installing an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate on it, it can be secured against any kind of phishing attack.

These days people go no further in submitting any confidential data online on any website that lacks features such as an ?https? prefix, a padlock icon, or a green address bar in the browser.

SSL Certificates play a very big role in securing private and confidential data online. This is a security protocol that initiates with a ?handshake? between the browser and the server when a person navigates through an SSL-secured website and leads to a secure session with a unique session key. Every SSL session involves use of a public key to encrypt the information and a private key to decrypt the information and bring it back to its original format. This is an important behind-the-scene process that doesn?t at all interrupt a user?s experience.
