SSL is the industry standard in data encryption for internet transactions.
When you use SSL, the data you send is automatically encrypted, protecting it from the prying eyes of a third party.

Information sent via the internet is not initially encrypted. For this reason, such information is easily viewable by third parties who have the will and the technology.
Since the internet is really a giant network of networks, information sent through it actually travels through several smaller networks on its way to its final destination.

The farther apart the sender and recipient are, the more networks the data will have to transit.

It is not uncommon for data to pass through networks that the sender has no idea exist. When this happens, the risk increases that data will be viewed in transit.
Thus, in order to protect your privacy, it is necessary to encrypt data before sending it.

There is no such thing as a code that cannot be cracked. To unlock a code of course, the proper numerical key is necessary, and the number of possible keys is limited.
If a hacker tries all of the keys in sequence, he will invariably find the right one. However, if the amount of time required to find this key is long enough--for example, 1,000 years or so--then we can probably say that the encryption was successful.

SSL is automatically used with an SSL-enabled browser like Netscape or Internet Explorer.

It is not necessary to make special adjustments to your browser in order to use such data encryption.

If an SSL-enabled browser is used, encryption will automatically begin when it is required.

SSL uses TCP Port 443. For this reason, please set your firewall to allow packets to pass through this port.
