SSL certificate<\/span>
\n<\/h2>\nThe SSL certificate<\/b> It is used to authenticate the owner of the web page. Fundamentally in e-commerce, it is very important to encrypt the data transmission using a certificate SSL<\/b>, since SSL encryption only protects the transmission of data from the server to the client. It is essential that the provider can be identified especially for transactions such as payments. This can be done using a SSL certificate<\/b>. At the same time, such a certificate provides confidence and can turn a visitor into a customer.\n<\/p>\n\nContent and functions<\/span>
\n<\/h3>\nBy clicking on "https" in the address line, each user can read the certificate used on that website. Provides information about the certificate issuer and owner. A creator is, for example, VeriSign Inc. Verifies the owner and can show that it is trustworthy. Thus, the certificate serves as proof that the owner of the page simply exists and is an honest seller, bank or equivalent<\/b>. The certificate also includes an expiration date. The SSL certificates<\/b> they are available in 128 and 256 bit versions. The latter is considered more secure.\n<\/p>\n\nVariations<\/span>
\n<\/h3>\nNot all certificates are equivalent. There are validation steps that validate different things and thus represent different levels of security. The weakest is the domain-validated certificate. This only checks if the domain email address is considered administrative. This level of validation does not protect against attacks such as phishing. At the same time, there are, for example, certificates that validate the organization. The high level of security, as required in the case of banking connections, is guaranteed by an EV-SSL (Extended Validation) certificate. If a high-quality browser is used with an https connection, the address bar appears partially colored green with this certificate only. A company only obtains an EV-SSL certificate after a detailed, extended and unified verification. This ensures high-level authentication.\n<\/p>\n
\nLegal issues<\/span>
\n<\/h3>\nFrom a legal point of view, digital authentication is questionable. Digital documents are generally not legally binding. For example, in Germany since 2001 the Signature Regulations have been in force. Everything related to the certificate SSL<\/b> It is regulated by this Regulation. The Federal Network Agency is the highest certification body. You can designate accredited certification bodies.\n<\/p>\n\nSecurity<\/span>
\n<\/h2>\nData transmission is secure and cannot be accessed by third parties. However, the SSL<\/b> it cannot affect the way the web portal operator handles the data entrusted to it. If it is stored unprotected on a server, it is not protected against hacker attacks. The encrypted search is also based on the SSL encryption<\/b>. It can be used to encrypt user data so that it cannot be traced.\n<\/p>\n\nHow does it work<\/span>
\n<\/h2>\n\nDifferent types of encryption<\/span>
\n<\/h3>\nEncryption SSL<\/b> ensures a more secure connection between a server and a client. Application protocols such as HTTP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, which are transmitted in an encrypted form, are protected with it. This protects sensitive data against unwanted manipulation and access by third parties. Cryptography methods are used such as:\n<\/p>\n
