What
is SSL?
The Secure Socket Layer —
SSL protocol is the web standard for
encrypting communications between users and web sites. Data sent
with an SSL connection is protected by encryption, a mechanism that
prevents eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data. SSL
provides businesses and consumers with the confidence that private
data sent to a web site, such as credit card numbers, are kept
confidential. Web Server Certificates are required to initialize an
SSL session.
Why
are QuickSSL Premium™ Web Server Certificates so inexpensive?
Historically, most SSL certificates cost $350 or more, but we has developed fully automated systems to verify that a certificate
purchaser has appropriate administrative rights to a web server's
domain. This greatly lowers our costs for issuing QuickSSL Premium™
Certificates, and we pass those savings on to you. With QuickSSL
Premium™,
you can assure your customers that their transactions and
information are secure on the Internet without having to pay an
unreasonable price.
What
Web Browser programs are compatible with QuickSSL Premium™?
QuickSSL Premium™ is compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer® 5.01 and
higher and Netscape/AOL web browsers version 4.51 and higher,
comprising an estimated 98% or more of all web browsers in use
today. All other commonly used browsers may connect securely with
web servers using QuickSSL Premium™ Certificates. However, some older
browsers may display a dialogue box indicating that the certificate
is not trusted. This means that the certificated is not located in
the browser certificate store and, in most cases, the user will be
prompted to install it with a few clicks of their mouse.
