The SSL (secure socket layer) protocol is the Web standard for encrypting communications between users and Web sites. Data sent via an SSL connection is protected by encryption, a mechanism that prevents eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data. SSL provides businesses and consumers with the confidence that private data sent to a Web site, such as credit card numbers, are kept confidential. Web server certificates are required to initialize an SSL session.
