One of the easiest, yet most effective, methods of upping your web security against data stealing involves using SSL certificates, or secure socket layer certificates. An SSL certificate encrypts data moving between the host, such as the web server or the firewall, and the web browser. Any information sent over these points can no longer be nabbed by a third party.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without an SSL certificate, someone filling in a form could intercept the information in what\u2019s termed a \u201cman-in-the-middle attack.\u201d If that form contained financial details, it could mean big trouble for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SSL certificates are similar to public key infrastructure, yet also different. PKI refers to the public key infrastructure in total sum. For example, web servers take advantage of SSL, which happens to use PKI. It can get confusing. Good thing you can take control of your keys with one simple approach.
