| The Secure Sockets Layer protects data transferred over http using encryption enabled by a server's SSL Certificate. An SSL Certificate contains a public key and a private key. A public key is used to encrypt information and a private key is used to decipher it. When a browser points to a secured domain, an SSL handshake authenticates the server and the client and establishes an encryption method and a unique session key. They can begin a secure session that guarantees message privacy and message integrity. |

- Authenticates the identity of the Web server (the Web site), and
- Encrypts information for the server using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
After you install your Symantec SSL certificate, your server automatically activates SSL, creating a secure communications channel between your server and your customer's/Associate's browser. Your site can communicate securely with anyone who uses Netscape Navigator/ Microsoft Internet Explorer. Once activated by your Server ID, SSL immediately begins providing you secure online transactions and confidential information flow. |

Let us look and understand why web-sites need a certificate:
- Real world demands a legal entity to be in existence and be registered.
- We know the companies’ existence and its physical location in the real world.
- The same comfort does not exist on the net. Domain names are cyber squatted easily.
- One can no way link the web site to a physical company, but just TRUST.
- Cost of communication in terms of informing people about the right web site is expensive.
- Privacy on the net needs to be respected since it can easily be violated.
- One would not want to be directed to any incorrect site and be misguided.
- Informative Web-site: A lot of sites provide information. Company web-site provides Product details, Prices and much more.
- How do I distinguish on the Net that www.satyam-infoway.com and www.satyaminfoway.com don't belong to the same company?
- How can I be sure that I am dealing with the same company on the Net, with whom I have dealing in the physical world?
- I need to be informed through an official communication from the company about the same. Or just Trust that the company is the right company.
- Can I really carry this plain trust on the Open medium like the Net, when I don't do the same in the physical world anyway?
- Interactive Web-site: Well they need to cater to all the above and also look into the following issues also.
- Are they respecting their Clients Privacy?
- Just having a plain privacy statement, which does really nothing, is of no use.
- You need to make your clients feel comfortable in providing you information through the web.
- Transaction Oriented web-sites: Any transaction oriented web-site needs security through SSL so the need here is eminent from the 2nd application of the Certificate.
- E-CRM oriented web-sites: Well they also need it for the same as the above.
