All data exchanged over the Internet is divided into small units and sent in envelope packets. Upon arriving at the computer that requested the information, the packets are reassembled into the original message.
For Internet transactions and communications, you must employ a method of securing these packets as they travel across the Internet. Secure Socket Layer, or SSL, is a method for encrypting and decrypting packets of data as they are exchanged using a known only to the data’s sender and recipient. SSL locks the data so that regardless of the path the data takes as it passes across the Internet, it only can be opened at the end with the proper key or combination to the lock on the data.
SSL technology is widely accepted today because the combination needed to unlock encrypted data is 2048 characters long.
