SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is the industry-standard for secure online transactions. It is used to transmit data safely over the Internet by creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. When visitors access a web site via SSL, a web server certificate makes a small padlock appear on their web browser, letting them know that their online transaction is encrypted and most importantly safe.
