The Latest Advancements in SSL Technology

VeriSign

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the World Standard for Web Security. SSL technology
confronts the potential problems of unauthorized viewing of confidential information,
data manipulation, data hijacking, phishing, and other insidious Web site scams by
encrypting sensitive data so that only authorized recipients can read it. In addition to
preventing tampering with sensitive information, SSL helps provide your Web site’s users
with the assurance of having accessed a valid Web site. Support for SSL is built into all
major operating systems, Web applications, and server hardware—meaning that SSL’s
powerful encryption technology helps provide your business with a system-wide, liability
limiting security blanket for fortifying consumer confidence, boosting the percentage of
completed transactions, and enriching the “bottom line.” Due to recent advances in SSL
technology, there is a variety of different kinds of SSL. In this paper, we will discuss some
of these advances to help you decide which would be best for your organization.
