Why does my ecommerce website need SSL? |
| |
Customers
in a store can see who they are dealing with and can
be sure that if something is wrong with their purchase,
they'll have recourse to the store manager or owner.
But on the Internet, website visitors have no reliable
way of knowing who owns the ecommerce site they are
about to buy from. They are also exposed to all the
security risks associated with sending data over an
open network (the Internet).
When
customers visit a website to make an online purchase,
they want to know who they'll be paying and that the
personal information they submit to the site cannot
be intercepted. This is the purpose of an SSL digital
certificate.
Use
of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and a digital certificate
enable a web browser (your customer) to communicate
securely with your website, assuring the customer of
3 things:
1.
That the website really is who it claims to be.
2. That credit card numbers, etc are encrypted and cannot
be intercepted.
3. That the data sent and received cannot be tampered
with or forged. |

Can I use the same SSL cert for www1.domain.com and
www2.domain.com? |
| |
Normally,
an SSL certificate is for a specific host at a specific
domain like www1.domain.com. If you try to use a certificate
on one subdomain when it was issued for another, your
visitors' browsers will warn them that the site name
does not match the certificate and ask if they want
to abort the connection.
Many
certificate authorities are now offering wildcard certificates
which are intended to allow you to buy one certificate
that can be used on any subdomain under your domain
name. The problem with wildcard certificates is that
all browsers may not support them and some of your visitors
may receive warnings or may not be able to connect to
your site using SSL at all. |

What is an SSL Certificate? |
| |
An
SSL certificate contains the following information:
#
The domain name for which the certificate was issued.
# The owner of the certificate and the domain name.
# The physical location of the owner.
# The validity dates of the certificate.
When
you connect to a secure web server such as https://www.paypal.com,
the server authenticates itself to the web browser by
presenting a digital certificate. The certificate is
proof that an independent trusted third party has verified
that the website belongs to the company it claims to
belong to. A valid certificate gives customers confidence
that they are sending personal information securely,
and to the right place.
SSL
certificates can provide you with non-forgeable proof
of your website's identity, and customer confidence
in the integrity and security of your online business.
Customers are becoming increasingly aware of the advantages
of SSL security and will often not purchase online from
non-secure stores. All major web merchants use SSL security
to encourage customers to buy online. |
