<h1 class="topictitle1">Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)</h1>
|
|
<div><p>The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), originally created by Netscape,
|
|
is the industry standard for session encryption between clients and servers.</p>
|
|
<p>SSL uses asymmetric, or public key, cryptography to encrypt
|
|
the session between a server and client. The client and server applications
|
|
negotiate this session key during an exchange of digital certificates. The
|
|
key expires automatically after 24 hours, and the SSL process creates a different
|
|
key for each server connection and each client. Consequently, even if unauthorized
|
|
users intercept and decrypt a session key (which is unlikely), they cannot
|
|
use it to eavesdrop on later sessions.</p>
