Secure Socket Layer: A protocol that is the web standard for transmitting private information over the Internet. SSL is all about encryption. SSL encrypts data, like credit cards numbers (as well other personally identifiable information), which prevents the ""bad guys"" from stealing your information for malicious intent. You know that you're on an SSL protected page when the address begins with ""https"" and there is a padlock icon at the bottom of the page (and in the case of Mozilla Firefox in the address bar as well.)
'SSL' is a method of coding that enables private communication between a web browser and a web server. Many web sites use 'SSL' to ensure customer information, such as banking details, is kept secure. Normally you will not be aware of 'SSL' as it works automatically when you access a secure web site. You can tell if you're accessing a secure web site by checking the address bar along the top of your screen to ensure the address begins with ‘https'. If you are using Internet Explorer, you should see an icon that looks like a closed padlock at the bottom right-hand side of your screen. This padlock indicates you are in a secure session.
Used to encrypt and protect data usually on an order from an online merchants web site. Once the order has reached its destination the encrypted data is decoded.
A system for encrypting data sent over the internet.
allows users to collect data, such as credit card information, in a secure environment. Information submitted via a secure form is sent to the server in an encrypted mode. Users may choose to research methods such as encrypted e-mail (PGP), CyberCash, or other solution for retrieving such information from their Web sites.
The Secure Sockets Layer protocol offer encryption and decryption of data to ensure a secure data exchange and is often used for home banking.
The encrypted security protocol is implemented in browsers and servers to provide secure transactions over the Web. The latest version is SSL 3.0.
Secured Sockets Layer is a protocol that transmits your communications over the Internet in an encrypted form. SSL ensures that the information is sent, unchanged, only to the server you intended to send it to. Online shopping sites frequently use SSL technology to safeguard your credit card information.
SSL is a protocol developed by Netscape Communications Corporation for securing data transmitted in commercial transactions on the Internet. Using public key cryptography, SSL provides server authentication, data encryption, and data integrity for client/server communications. This protocol makes Secure Web transmissions transparent to end users
A commonly-used protocol for managing the security of a message transmission on the Internet.
an encryption program and certificate which is installed on a webserver (not your desktop) that allows the web programmer to encrypt the exchange of information on certain pages
an encryption protocol invoked on a Web server that uses HTTPS
a protocol designed by netscape that enables encrypted communication over the Internet
a protocol used to transmit sensitive data securely via the Internet
A security protocol that provides communications privacy over the Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering and message forgery. Shared Registration System (SRS): A domain name registration system in which registry services are shared among multiple independent registrars. Shared registration systems require a loose coupling between registrars and a registry.
A protocol for transmitting private documents through the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that is transferred over the SSL connection.
A protocol designed by Netscape Communications Corporation to provide encrypted communications on the Internet. SSL is layered beneath application protocols such as HTTP, SMTP, Telnet, FTP, Gopher, and NNTP and is layered above the connection protocol TCP/IP. It is used by the HTTPS access method.
Think of a secure socket layer as an underground pipe. Encrypted information travels from a secure server at one end of the pipe to a secure server at the other end, away from the eyes of the general public walking about aboveground. Many Web sites use this technology to transmit user information securely. Usually, Web sites requiring SSL start with https: instead of http
A protocol that supplies secure data communication through data encryption and decryption. SSL uses RSA public-key encryption for specific TCP/IP ports. It is intended for handling commerce payments. An alternative method is Secure-HTTP (S-HTTP), which is used to encrypt specific Web documents rather than the entire session. SSL is a general-purpose encryption standard. SSL can also be used for Web applications requiring a secure link, such as e-commerce applications, or for controlling access to Web-based subscription services.
Also known as SSL, Secure Socket Layer provides for encrypted transmission of credit card and other proprietary transactions over the Internet.
A protocol used to transmit documents over the internet in an encrypted format. An SSL connection will use the https protocol where as typical web pages are transmitted via an http protocol.

An Internet standard for encrypting data. SSL allows a secure connection between your shopper's browser and your Web store's server. SSL encrypts incoming and outgoing data transfers so that hackers can't steal sensitive data (like credit card information) from you or your customer.
Is a protocol designed by Netscape Communications that provides encrypted communications for private documents via the Internet. SSL works by use of a public/private key system for exchanging session keys.
SSL is a secure protocol used to transfer private information between computers on the Internet. The security is achieved through data encryption. Cincinnati Bell offers the use of SSL with Standard and Premium Business Hosting. To use Cincinnati Bell's SSL protocol, the customer must purchase a certificate for secure access. (ZoomTown will facilitate the acquisition of this certificate if the customer does not already have one.) SSL does NOT provide for credit card clearing house or any other form of payment processing. It only provides a facility for secure transfer of information across the Internet.
An Internet security protocol that encrypts data when it is transferred over the Internet. Enabling SSL allows you to transfer data securely between your Web server and your visitor's Internet browser.
A protocol designed to enable encrypted, authenticated communications across the Internet. It is used mostly (but not exclusively) in communications between web browsers and web servers. URL's that begin with "https" indicate that an SSL connection will be used. SSL provides 3 important things: Privacy, Authentication, and Message Integrity.
SSL is a transaction security standard developed to enable secure, encrypted transactions to take place over the otherwise notoriously nonsecure Internet. Connections always use the prefix https:// (Secure HTTP) instead of http://. For more information check out http://security.tao.ca/ssl.shtml.
A protocol that allows communication between a Web browser and a server to be encrypted for privacy.
An industry standard protocol designed by Netscape Communications Corporation for securing network connections. SSL provides authentication, encryption, and data integrity using public key infrastructure (PKI).
A technology which provides confidentiality of the data to be transferred by encrypting the application data and encapsulating it into transport layer protocols like TCP or UDP.
Short for Secure Socket Layer, SSL is a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents and transferring data encrypted, allowing information such as passwords or credit card information to be hidden.
Optional software used to secure the communications between the Management Service and the Management Agent. When Enterprise Manager is installed "out-of-box," the communications between the Management Service and Management Agent are not secure. Encrypted communications between the Management Agent and Management Service over HTTPS ensures the privacy of data sent from one computer to another.
A computer technology enabling secure, encrypted, authenticated communications across the Internet. SSL is intended to provide three important things — privacy, authentication, and message integrity.
Secure Socket Layer protocol. A security protocol that prevents eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery with HTTP transmissions based on server-side public/private key pairs and provides support for client-side public/private key usage. See SSL FAQ.
(SSL) Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a security protocol that provides authentication (Digital Certificate), confidentiality (encryption), and data integrity (Message Digest - MD5, SHA etc).
A low-level protocol that enables secure communications between a server and a browser.
Developed by Netscape to provide security and privacy over the Internet. Supports server and client authentication and maintains the security and integrity of the transmission channel. Operates at the transport layer and mimics the "sockets library," allowing it to be application independent. Encrypts the entire communication channel and does not support digital signatures at the message level.

SSL is a application layer protocol created by Netscape for managing the security of message transmissions in a network. SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system from RSA, which also includes the use of a digital certificate.
A protocol (data transmission procedure) transparent to the user that implements three cryptographic assurances— authentication, confidentially, message integrity— and provides secure key exchange between an Internet Browser and Internet Server. It's main purpose is to make Internet e-commerce users feel secure about sending their financial information over the Internet. SSL does not offer non-repudiation.
A protocol developed by Netscape and now standardized for secure communications for HTTP, it combines RSA public key encryption and the services of a Certificate Authority to provide a secure environment for electronic commerce and communications. It provides authentication between servers and browsers, as well as providing a method for encryption and validation of client-server communications. It is limited in the number of applications it can support.
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is protocol that encrypts the communication between web browsers and the web servers that host websites. This encryption (normally 128bit) prevents third parties from accessing sensitive information such as bank details, credit card numbers and account transactions. SSL's are in use when you see https:// in the URL bar or a solid padlock or key in the bottom right of your browser.
