SSL Certificates |
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 128-bit Encryption Certificates An SSL Server Certificate will enable SSL on your web site, giving you the ability to communicate securely with your web customers. SSL encrypts all communications with your clients so you can take credit card orders, protect sensitive personal information, and ensure that malicious folks can not "sniff" your passwords. SSL security makes eavesdropping on your private web traffic almost impossible.
The strength of the certificate issued is determined by the key size generated by your server software. As with any SSL Web Server Certificate on the market, the strength of the encryption that takes places with these certificates, is dependant on the browsers that log onto the web site as well as the certificate itself. The principle of lowest common denominator is used: If the browser is only capable of 40-bit encryption (as is the case with many non-US / Non-US browsers) then the communication between browser and server will only ever take place at 40-bit -- regardless of whether the server has a 40 or 128-bit SSL certificate. offer 128-bit encryption -- the highest we can offer you.
