How does SSL 128bit encryption protection protect any data that is transferred?
SSL or Secure Socket Layer is the industry standard protocol developed by Netscape for encrypted transmission over TCP/IP networks. It sets up a secure end-to-end link over which http or any other application protocol can operate. In essence when SSL is invoked the link ensures that all data passed between the web server and the browser remain private and integral. In order to be able to generate a SSL link, a web server requires an SSL certificate and when installed can be used to create a secure links to protect transactions, passwords, personal details, etc.
