Secure Socket Layer
TravelerDomains.com - Reliable Hosting Products For The Travel Industry

A Secure Socket Layer is a way to keep your customers' information safe.

Basically, A Secure Socket Layer, like TravelerDomains.com SSL Certificates, is a way to encrypt data that flows through the internet through either 128 bit or 256 bit encryption. To understand encryption, think of an extremely complex algorithm that takes one piece of data and transforms it so that no one can easily steal it. For example, if I type the name "John Smith" into an internet form as my name, the encryption mechanism will take that name, mix the words around, exchange them for others and add a few letters that don't even exist. Only the receiver, who has the key to decode the data can revert that transmission back to "John Smith". The 128 bit encryption will produce a coded message that is smaller than the 256 bit encryption.

128 bit encryption is still considered extremely safe. However, like all security measures, it is better to come up with the "better mousetrap" before the current one is no longer useful. The 256 bit encryption does that and more companies are starting to use 256 bit encryption just to be safe.

We provide the highest level SSL encryption available. With SSL Certificates, when the customer logs into a secure page on your site, the http:// turns into an https:// in your menu bar. This proves to customers that the data being transferred is secure. Many newer browsers also show a locked padlock or have some identification to show customers that the information being typed in will be encrypted and safe.
