Frequently Asked Questions |
|
| Self-Signed SSL and Shared SSL - what is the difference and which one you offer ? |
We offer an SSL generator through which you can generate a Self-Signed SSL. Please note that those type of certificates provide encryption but there will always be a warning stating that the SSL authority cannot be recognized.
A Shared SSL is a SSL certificate installed for a particular domain through which other sites can be accessed securely. Such service is not offered at the moment. |

CA bundle - Certificate Authority - usually consists of the CA Root Certificate and the CA Intermediate Certificate used to verify the Certificate Authority. |

| What is SSL? |
| Short for Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that's transferred over the SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL and many Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:. |

| Why do I need SSL? |
The SSL is usually used with E-commerce shops, on-line payment processing, forms used to submit private data, login forms. The SSL ensures that the information submitted through such forms will be encrypted.
SSL is widely used for:
- On-line Shops - sign-up form/order form;
- Login Forms;
- Sign-up Forms;
- Payment Forms;
The SSL is needed in order to encrypt the connection between the visitor and the site, i.e. the data packets transferred from and to the site cannot be read by any third party that intercepts the connection due the provided encryption. |
