The Latest Advancements in SSL Technology

Overview

Organisations that rely on Internet transactions have learnt that a reliable and secure Internet is necessary for fortifying consumer confidence, boosting the percentage of completed transactions, and enriching the "bottom line".

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the World Standard for Web Security. SSL Technology confronts the potential problems of unauthorised viewing of confidential information, data manipulation, data hijacking, phishing, and other insidious Web site scams, by encrypting sensitive data so that only authorised recipients can read it.

Due to recent advances in SSL technology, there is a variety of different kinds of SSL. In this paper, we will discuss some of these advances, including Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) and Extended Validation SSL (EV SSL), to help you decide which would be best for your organisation.
