Using SSL Encryption

When most people think about security and privacy on the Internet their thoughts turn mostly to encryption. After all, web-based order forms that ask for sensitive information must utilize some form of encryption to ensure that the data entered by the customer is not observed by a third party while en route to the merchant. SSL provides application-level encryption for just this purpose.

SSL is a transparent protocol that provides automatic trust verification and application-level encryption. Most applications that utilize SSL have some kind of visual indicator, such as a pad-lock, or an alert message to inform the user when an SSL-protected transport is being used.

Protecting a Page

Once SSL is enabled for your server, simply type http://www.sslserver.com/yourdomainname.com/yourpage into your web browser to access your secure page.

For example, if you wanted to securely access http://support.internetconnection.net/VIEW_ALL_SUPPORT_DOCUMENTS/ you would use the url http://sslserver.com/support.internetconnection.net/VIEW_ALL_SUPPORT_DOCUMENTS/
