What are SSLs (Secure Socket Layers)?

Information on the World Wide Web is transmitted using ‘HTTP’ (HyperText Transfer Protocol). Secure data on the Web is distributed by using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). This is a layer of security over top of HTTP information. (The location addresses for secure sites use ‘https:’ at the beginning instead of the regular insecure ‘http:’). Your browser would have been shipped to you with SSL enabled. Please see your browser’s ‘Help’ files for more information about SSL. For your protection our responses will not include any confidential information.
