Frequently Ask Questions

 

What is SSL?

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) (and Transport Layer Security (TLS)) is the most widely deployed security protocol used today.  It is essentially a protocol that provides a secure channel between two machines operating over the Internet or an internal network.  In today’s Internet focused world, we typically see SSL in use when a web browser needs to securely connect to a web server over the insecure Internet. For example, in the case of a browser, users are alerted to the presence of SSL when the browser displays a padlock, or in the case of Extended Validation SSL the address bar displays both a padlock and a green bar.  This is the key to the success of SSL – it is incredibly simple experience for end users.


What is an SSL Certificate?

SSL is a protocol, and in order to use the SSL protocol organisations need a SSL Certificate.  A SSL Certificate is a small data file that digitally binds a cryptographic key to your organization’s details, typically:

* Your domain name, server name or hostname
* Your company name and location
* In certain cases your organisational contact details

Where should SSL be used?

No matter what information is being submitted (i.e. via a form on your website to your server) you should be using SSL.  SSL is not just for securing credit card transactions.  All levels of personal information are sensitive and should be secured, from newsletter signups to account logins, SSL should be the minimum security standard when collecting and submitting data.
