how does ssl work?

[JJohnsenDK]

Hey

 

I have tried to write to a couple of ssl companies, but they do not answer to this question.

 

How does your ssl work? Do you have a payment system where my costumers put in their

creditcard number and then the number is stored with your ssl? or do i have to make this

my self?

 

Do you guys know how it works? Do the company make the form data where my cutomers

can put in there creditcard number? Or how does all this ssl work?

SSL encrypts the connection. It means Secure Sockets Layer.

 

Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor' date=' Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide secure communications on the Internet for such things as web browsing, e-mail, Internet faxing, instant messaging and other data transfers. There are slight differences between SSL and TLS, but the protocol remains substantially the same. The term "TLS" as used here applies to both protocols unless clarified by context.[/quote']

you need a license from a place like http://www.verisign.com

 

I've never got to play around with such things but I know that's what's involved.
