The Internet has been a revolution to commerce and the transfer of data
in general, which has developed new global business opportunities for
all, including major enterprises, small to medium sized businesses and
individuals alike. However e-commerce has inevitably attracted crime
and developed a new breed of online criminals ranging from fraudsters
and hackers to cyber terrorists. The growing concerns associated with
conducting e-commerce have now resulted in the fact that security is an
essential factor for online business success. The market is now educated in the basics of online security and the majority of online users now expect security to be integrated into any online service they use and as a result they expect any details they provide via the Internet to remain confidential and secure. SSL can be utilized as the core security technology to protect customer's online transactions and informs users that the security of the online business is being taken seriously. In fact SSL provides proof of a digital identity and allows online customers to visibly see that their digital transaction will be confidential. These are essential factors in gaining customer confidence and remove the concerns and risks associated with sending sensitive data over the Internet. SSL is essential to allow the true benefits of the Internet to be realised. |
