What is SSL?
GPD Host implements SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser, originally created by Netscape in 1992. In order to use the SSL protocol, a web server requires the use of an SSL certificate. This SSL secure link ensures data and private information passed between web server and browsers remains private and intact.
SSL is an industry standard used by millions of websites to protect online transactions. To create an SSL connection a web server requires an SSL Certificate. When you activate an SSL Certificate you will be required to verify the identity of your domain and website and in some cases actual validation of your company. Your web server then creates Private and a Public Keys cryptographic keys which can be used to establish an SSL Certificate.
It’s easy to take advantage of SSL security and encryption with GPD Host services.
What is encryption?
Encryption is the process changing data into an undecipherable format that can only be returned to a readable format with the specific and unique decryption key. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients. The purpose of encryption is to ensure that only somebody who is authorized to access data will be able to read it, using the decryption key. Somebody who is not authorized can be excluded, because he or she does not have the required key, without which it is near-impossible to read the encrypted information. Encryption does not of itself prevent interception, but denies the message content to the interceptor. It is in principle possible to decrypt the message without possessing the key however large computational resources and expert technical skills are required.
GPD Host partner providers (CA’s) take pride in offering rock-solid website and domain security via SSL certificates generated with 256-bit encryption, and where the capabilities of web browser and server are sufficient. The strength and level of validation and encryption, via SSL; is determined by the number of bits used to generate an encryption key, and thereby encrypting the data. Generally, 128-bit encryption is considered sufficient, and is often considered the industry standard for data protection.
