SSL Certificates are all about encryption. SSL encrypts data, like credit cards numbers (as well other personally identifiable information), which prevents those with ill intent from stealing that information for malicious intent. You know that you're on an SSL protected page when the address begins with "https" and there is a padlock icon at the bottom of the page (and in the case of Mozilla Firefox in the address bar as well). Your browser encrypts the data and sends to the receiving Web site using either 40-bit or 128-bit encryption. Your browser alone cannot secure the whole transaction and that's why it's important that those responsible for an e-commerce site to do their part and that is where SSL certificates come in.

 

It cannot be stressed enough that to your e-commerce customers and yourself, the SSL certificate provides security and peace of mind for all transactions. The SSL certificate sits on a secure server and is used to encrypt the data and to identify the Web site. The SSL certificate helps to prove the site belongs to who it says it belongs to and contains information about the certificate holder, the domain that the certificate was issued to, the name of the Certificate Authority who issued the certificate, the root and the country it was issued in. When your customers see the certificate on your site, they are more likely to buy because they know that their credit card and personal information is safe.
