When users access your Web site, the information they send is not in encrypted by default. Someone may intercept and decipher the data sent from the user's browser to your Web site. To prevent data theft you can apply a special encryption mechanism to your Web site. Accessing Web sites using SSL appears different from regular sites. Keys To use SSL you must first create keys.
Keys are the special encryption encoding that are applied to the data.
Both the web site and user browser must have keys to open and read the transmitted data. The Key Manager program allows the Web site Administrator to create keys. Two types of keys are used, the public key and the private key. The owner of the keys holds the private key. The public key is available to anyone that wishes to exchange data.
