Users won't transact business at a website unless they are certain it is secure. They need to ensure that your business is real and that their communications with you are private. VeriSign's solution is to issue SSL Certificate. SSL Certificate, also known as digital certificates, which is issued by a trusted third party called Certification Authority (CA),becomes the "passport" or the digital document that verify the security and authenticity of the interaction.
The SSL certificate is installed on a web server to identify the business using it to encrypt sensitive data such as credit card information. SSL Certificates give a website the ability to communicate securely with its web customers. Without a certificate, any information sent from a user’s computer to a website can be intercepted and viewed by hackers.
