Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
As part of our Secure Managed Web strategy, ACL 101 provide an all inclusive dedicated Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate enabling secure encrypted e-commerce and communication for websites, intranets and extranets.
SSL technology protects your Web site and makes it easy for customers to trust you. An SSL Certificate enables encryption of sensitive information during online transactions. Each SSL Certificate contains unique, authenticated information about the certificate owner. Every SSL Certificate is issued by a Certificate Authority that verifies the identity of the certificate owner.
An SSL Certificate is an electronic file that uniquely identifies individuals, web sites and enables encrypted communications. SSL Certificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential.
Typically the "signer" of an SSL certificate is a "Certificate Authority" such as Digicert. All exchanges of SSL certificates occur within seconds and require no action by the customer.
