The Secure Socket Layer
What is SSL?
SSL, or Secure Socket Layer, is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) approved protocol designed by Netscape to facilitate the secure transferring of information over the World Wide Web. SSL works by authenticating the server’s identity, along with the user’s identity, and sending encrypted information through the channel, protected from prying packet sniffers.
