Why only few customers use my website out of thousands?
Buyer permanently check online store (E-commerce) prior to payment process. It is fantastic that you place forward excellent price and excellent service, but what if your website is not open for safe payment process. As a new ecommerce businessman or non technical person or as an online buyer you should check this ‘Is this website open for safe payment process?’ Well first I will let you know hacker safe website permanently starts with HTTPS://. Website only using HTTP:// is not a secure website as it does not support data security.
How to seller achieve SSL certificate for website?
SSL certificates are used to provide data security over online website. SSL certificates are kind of security certificate and issued by third party (CA-Certificate Authority). Website owner has to apply for website security SSL certificate for along with business and website ownership identity. CA follows domain and business verification process and only issue SSL for genuine question for. If seller disastrous to verify then CA will not issue SSL certificate. Somehow we permanently used to trust third party verification. There are many CAs like VeriSign, GeoTrust, COMODO, Thawte, RapidSSL, GlobalSign, etc. All this CAs now offering their reseller to sell SSL certificates direct to customers. Resellers are only used to sell SSL certificates the verification and SSL issuance process will be handled by CA it self. So it is safe buying SSL from resellers.
How SSL secures online data?
SSL certificate is urban on basis of data encryption and decryption technology. SSL certificates are used to support 128 to 256 bit encryption and decryption. Seller has to install SSL certificate on his website where is host the website. Once the website is successfully installed with SSL then SSL security site seal should be enabled on home page of website. Now anyone browse website from any PC somewhere in the world, enters CC or personal information. These all content will be encrypted previous to it travel from PC to Server. So data is open on road. No one can decrypt and read this data. Only seller website server can encrypt and read this. This is type of End to End strong security.
Running a SSL open ecommerce website will increase your customer trust and this trust will lead you to more business. I believe is as a buyer or seller permanently use only SSL certificate open website. Thus you will never get abused with confidential data stealing or cash loses.

Monday, December 21st, 2009How to secure your website using SSL Certificate?
Monday, December 21st, 2009SSL provides visitors to your website with the confidence to communicate securely via an encrypted session. For companies wishing to conduct secure e-commerce, such as receiving credit card numbers or other sensitive information online, SSL is elemental.
For SSL to work a valid signed SSL certificate is elemental. Certificates are a standard way of binding a public key to a name. Public key encryption is a tactic that uses a pair of asymmetric keys for encryption and decryption. Each pair of keys consists of a public key and a confidential key. The public key is made public by distributing it usually. The confidential key is never distributed; it is permanently kept secret. Data that is encrypted with the public key can be decrypted only with the confidential key. Conversely, data encrypted with the confidential key can be decrypted only with the public key. This asymmetry makes public key cryptography so useful.
You can generate a self-signed certificate and use it for some time until the certificate “signed” by a trusted outdoor authority
VeriSign certificate authority
or
GeoTrust Site Seals
And it will be ready.
To enable SSL for your website with self-signed certificate:
Note: Do not forget to backup your confidential key: click the SSL confidential key details link (the confidential key content will appear in popup window) and copy your confidential key content to a file.
7. Click the Generate the SSL Certificate button. In a few seconds the screen reloads with the updated secure website summary: now the certificate is in place and the secure website is available;
8. Click the Enable SSL button.
To send a certificate question for to an outdoor certificate authority (if certificate question for is by now generated and the confidential key saved, as described in steps 1 -7 above):
To import an SSL certificate signed by a certificate authority:
To import both your backup SSL certificate and confidential key:
Notes:
Netscape and Mozilla browsers involuntarily notice whether a website uses encryption of transmitted data or not (as for Internet Explorer, please encourage your website visitors who use IE to use Internet Explorer 5.0 or later). Thus, if you use a self-signed certificate, your website visitors will be told that your website uses encryption, but the authority that signed a certificate is not recognized. So if you intend to conduct e-commerce at your website, it is better to obtain an SSL certificate signed by VeriSign or Thwate.
Secure website can be enabled only for IP-based website (i.e., a website that does not share an IP address with other websites). So if you have several websites on your server and only one IP address – any of these sites (but only one of them) can be SSL-capable. Go for GeoTrust Power Server ID Wildcard Certificate.
