Stay Secure with SSL Certificates
Dovetail Internet Technologies offers multiple options when selecting an SSL certificate for your corporate needs.
What is an SSL anyway?
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a protocol that is the method of choice for securing data transmissions across the Internet. SSL makes use of the public-and-private key encryption system.
A digital certificate is an electronic file that uniquely identifies individuals and servers. Digital certificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential which authenticate the server prior to the SSL session being established.
System of Trust
Typically, digital certificates are signed by an independent and trusted third party to ensure their validity. The “signer” of a certificate is known as a Certification Authority (CA), such as Symantec, thawte and GeoTrust.
There are two main online security problems that SSL certificates help solve:
- Authentication - you are who you say you are
- Encryption - protect data with unique key
Solving these security problems allows online business to protect against the following scenarios:
- Spoofing - protecting against illegitimate sites that mimic businesses to gain sensitive information
- Unauthorized Disclosure - intercepting transmissions and obtain sensitive information from customers
- Data alteration - the content of a transaction can be intercepted and altered
The most common deployment is for securing transmission of financial information in ecommerce. However, with identity theft, protecting the transmission of a broad range of personally-identifiable information is becoming ever more important.
SSL Certificates can be used to secure the following:
- Web Servers
- Mail Servers
- Databases
- FTP Sites
- Internet Chat
- NNTP
