SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security technology that is commonly used for encrypting information sent & received between users and e-commerce websites, thereby ensuring critical personal information is not stolen in transit. SSL protects by encrypting data submitted over the internet, from being intercepted and viewed by unintended recipients. This is used by hundreds of thousands of websites to protect their on-line visitor information.
SSL Certificate is a unique digital key provided by a identity verification provider, such as VeriSign, GeoTrust and Thawte, that encrypts website communication. Each digital key binds to domain and unique IP Address. SSL implementation requires website with a Dedicated IP address.
Enable 128bit encryption on website with an entry-level basic certificate with an automated two-step certificate issuance through paperless domain control validation. Fast issuance with minimal identity validation. Suitable for entry- level low-traffic website.

Generally there are two strengths of certificate in existence - 128 bit & 246 bit. The bit size indicates the length of the key size used for the encryption during a secure SSL session. The bigger the encryption, the longer it takes for computer(s) to crack or break the code.
128 bit: It is computationally unfeasible to crack a 128 bit key, though not impossible.
256 bit: This is the highest commercial level of encryption available. All banking infrastructures use 256 bit encryption. We strongly recommend the use of 256 bit SSL encryption on your website.
