A protocol for providing data security layered between its service protocols (HTTP) and TCP/IP.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a widely-used protocol for managing the security of a message transmission over the public Internet. Here, the "sockets" part of the term refers to the particular method of passing data back and forth between a client and a server in a network or between program layers in the same computer. SSL uses the encryption system from RSA, and in the e-Capsule(tm) system the size of the public-and-private key pairs used to encrypt the message before transporting it across the network is at least 1024-bit long.

(Acronym – SSL) An industry standard public-key protocol used to create encrypted tunnels between two network-connected devices. See also " Transport Layer Security".

Like S-HTTP, this protocol provides authentication for servers and browsers, as well as confidentiality and data integrity for communications between a web server and a browser. However, SSL secures the communications channel by operating lower in the network stack—between the application layer and the TCP/IP transport and network layers. SSL can be used for transactions other than those on the web, but it's not designed to handle security decisions based on authentication at the application or document level.

Two in a Room Studios websites using e-commerce pass all transactions through a SSL connection, and can assist you in meeting any SSL requirements for yiour site.

A protocol designed by Netscape Communications to enable encrypted, authenticated communications across the Internet. URLs that begin with "https" indicate that an SSL connection will be used. SSL provides three important things: privacy, authentication, and message integrity. In an SSL connection, each side of the connection must have a security certificate, which each side’s software sends to the other. Each side then encrypts what it sends using information from both its own and the other side’s certificate, ensuring that only the intended recipient can de-crypt it, and that the other side can be sure the data came from the place it claims to have come from, and that the message has not been tampered with. Since most browsers are SSL capable, cardholders simply need to look for the "key" or "closed lock" on the bottom left-hand corner of their browser to see that they are on a secure page before making a credit card transaction.
