General:
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security technology that
is commonly used for encrypting information sent between
users and e-commerce websites, thereby securing transactions.
SSL protects data submitted over the internet from being
intercepted and viewed by unintended recipients and is
used by hundreds of thousands of websites in the protection
of their online transactions with their customers. SSL
is the industry standard internet transaction security
technology. |

Choosing the right SSL Certificate:
If you have a low volume or development website with
less than 50 transactions per week and an average transaction
amount of less than $50, then you can opt for RapidSSL.
If you have a website processing more than 50 transactions
per week with an average transaction of greater than
$50, GeoTrust QuickSSL or GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium
are the options to choose from.
About certificate strength:
Generally there are two strengths of certificate in
existence - 40 bit & 128 bit. The bit size indicates
the length of the key size used for the encryption during
a secure SSL session. The bigger the encryption, the
longer it takes for computer(s) to crack or break the
code.
40 bit: It is computationally feasible to crack a 40
bit key. For this reason 40 bit encryption is rarely
used.
128 bit: It is computationally unfeasible to crack
a 128 bit key. All banking infrastructures use 128 bit
encryption.
We strongly recommend the use of 128 bit SSL encryption
for any application or website.
