An SSL Certificate consists of a private key and a public key. The private key is used to decipher the public key, where the public key is used to encrypt information. When a Web browser points to a secured domain name, a Secure Sockets Layer handshake authenticates the server (Web site) and the client (Web browser). An encryption method is established with a unique session key. Clients can begin a secure session that guarantees message privacy and message integrity.
SSL Certificates reinsure you and your customers that each data transaction uses a Secure Sockets Layer to exchange data between the server and the client.
