MindGenies, the trusted Global Certification Authority is proud to announce the launch of SSLGenie, a new product suite for the Internet Security industry to reduce the Internet eCommerce fraud.

Running a successful online business requires that your customers trust that your business effectively protects their sensitive information from intrusion and tampering.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a communications protocol, which is now the global standard for security SSL creates an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser to ensure that all data transmitted remains private and secure. The Secure Sockets Layer protects data transferred over http using encryption enabled by a server’s SSL Certificate.|

Secure Sockets Layer, which is also known as " SSL Certificates ", is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. Before the introduction of SSL it was difficult to ensure privacy over the web in online transactions.  Digital certificates are used with the most popular security protocol on the Internet. Without this encryption, packets of data travel networks in full view. The secured socket layer (SSL) technology provides strong encryption of HTTP packets during their online transfers through the World Wide Web. Thus, in order to encrypt a SSL certificate from a trusted certification authority like SSLGenie is necessary to ensure the online security. Before SSL and digital certificates, there was a general fear in the online buyers that an individual’s credit card information could be picked up by a third party and misused for unauthorized purchases.

For online retailers, securing their shopping sites is paramount. If consumers perceive that their credit card information might be compromised online, they are unlikely to do their shopping on the Internet. SSL Certificates help you gain competitive advantage by appearing more trusted and more legitimate. Displaying the seal on your Web site can increase visitor-to-sales conversions, lower shopping cart abandonment and result in larger average purchases. SSLGenie’s range of Internet SSL security products can address your concerns. An SSL Certificate helps Web site visitors protect sensitive information and get a better idea of who they are trusting with it.

Now a day, most of the E – Commerce sites use this digital certificate to keep their customers valuable information safe and secure. That’s why when we make a purchase on the Web and notice the closed lock icon at the bottom of our browser or the HTTPS:// prefix in the URL, it means now all data passed between the web server and browsers remain confidential, integral and secure.
