SSL Server Certificates

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a cryptographic protocol that establishes a secure connection between a client application and a server on the Internet or other network. An SSL certificate (or digital certificate) indicates that an encryption algorithm is being used to ensure that only intended parties are the recipient of a data transmission. For this reason, SSL certificates or Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates are one of the hallmarks of a solid e-commerce foundation and the de facto industry standard for protecting information from unauthorized access. In short, SSL certificates help build customer trust and website reputation by safeguarding Internet transactions.

SSL encryption technology exists as part of the larger topics of safe computing and secure networking. E-commerce oriented websites must take precautions to insure their customer's credit card information, personally identifiable information (PII), or other confidential data is properly protected en route to the recipient server.

Enter Entrust, a full service SSL certificate provider. An Entrust security certificate not only provides robust encryption, but promotes trust and confidence by displaying visual cues in the site visitor's web browser, signifying that the session is digitally protected. The most common indicators that an SSL cert is actively encrypting a transmission are the lock icon in the browser, the secure https designation in the URL of the webpage, and a seal on the website identifying Entrust as the SSL certificate provider.

Entrust, an innovator in cutting edge SSL encryption technology and SSL server certificate management solutions, helps security-minded organizations safeguard critical information transmissions across TCP/IP networks while upholding data integrity.
