Yahoo uses SSL to maintain the security of users on yahoo account. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is an industry-standard for the encryption of private data sent over the Internet. Or we can say that SSL guarantees the protection of private data including credit cards and passwords, which is sent over the internet. SSL also helps protect our account from hackers.

1. How SSL works?

Encryption scrambles and unscrambles the data.
 The data is scrambled by a public key.
 The data is unscrambled by a private key.

2. Security of Credit Card:

We can only complete the transaction if our browser supports SSL after we make a purchase on Yahoo. After typing the credit card number, SSL encodes the number so that it is transmitted in a format that avoids data theft or eavesdropping. When our secure server receives it, the credit card
number can never ever be sent over the Internet.

3. How to know if you are using SSL:

In the start of the Web address, look for the "s"
 SSL is being used: https://
 SSL is not being used: Http://
If you observe S, you can decide that SSL is used by yahoo sites and it is secured. In https, S means
security for yahoo users.

4. Use SSL with your Internet browser:

 To enable SSL, your browser must be enabled.
 Longer download time for the page can take place with SSL encryption.
