Installing a SSL Web Server Certificate means any information sent to your web server is encrypted or scrambled (via ‘https://’ instead of ‘http://’), making it impossible to intercept or steal. It also displays the identity of the website owner, and the name of the independent authority who verified that identity, such as Thawte, Verisign, Global Trust, etc. Most Web Server Certificate connect at 128 bit, 56 bit or 40 bit depending on the client’s browser capability.
