SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard technology for keeping an internet connection secure and safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, preventing hackers from reading and modifying any information transferred, including potential personal details. It uses encryption algorithms to scramble that data in transit, preventing hackers from reading it as it is sent over the connection. This information could be anything sensitive or personal which can include credit card numbers and other financial information, names and email addresses. HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL certificate. The details of the certificate, including the issuing authority and the corporate name of the website owner, can be viewed by clicking on the lock symbol on the browser bar. As of August 06, 2014, Google has started to give a ranking boost to websites secured by SSL/HTTPS. Link We provide SSL certificates at an additional cost of SGD $80, renewable yearly.
