An SSL (Secure Socket Layer) server encrypts data as it travels between the browser and the server. With concerns about credit card liability, a secure server is essential for any online store. Without SSL, credit card information is completely unprotected in transit. While the chances are slim that anybody would intercept the information, that’s a chance no retailer should take — especially given the affordability of SSL servers today. MMA offers SSL capability via Apache Stronghold servers that ensure the security of orders during processing.
