Security
Secure Sockets Layer or SSL, is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remain private and intact. SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their customers during online transactions.

All SSL certificates are issued to either companies or legally accountable individuals. Generally an SSL certificate will contain your domain name, your company name, your address, your city, your state and your country. It will also contain the expiry date of the certificate and details of the certification authority responsible for the issuance of the certificate.
When a browser connects to a secure site it will retrieve the site's SSL Certificate and check that it has not expired, it has been issued by a Certification Authority the browser trusts and that it is being used by the website for which it has been issued. If it fails on any one of these checks the browser will display a warning to the end user.
Beyond simply having an SSL certificate installed on your website, it is vital that credit card numbers are never emailed, stored on web servers or in databases. Protecting and securing your customers personal information is equally important.
