The single largest obstacle to on-line commerce is security. Most web users are cautious about purchasing products with credit cards unless they are sure their transmissions are secure. Secure SSL servers provide a secure means of exchanging data on the Internet through the use of data encryption. Encryption provides the security and privacy needed for transmitting sensitive information such as credit card numbers or private corporate information. Visit C2Net's Stronghold web site for SSL details.
Secured servers are only half the solution.
In order to take full advantage of SSL security, a secure digital certificate should be purchased. Besides providing a unique I.D., the certificate minimizes the usual warning messages when loading your secured web page. Although you can obtain a certificate from a number of recognized authorities, we strongly recommend Thawte Certification .
