<< Chapter 11 - Site Security

Secure socket layer (SSL)


(Last modified Aug 28, 2002 )

Normally, any text (such as your credit card number) sent from your browser to the web server is sent as plain text. This means that a hacker could potentially intercept (however unlikely) the information sent from your browser and read it. Therefore, by using the secure server, the information is encrypted before it is sent from your browser. It would be practically impossible for anyone to decrypt it without knowing the key.

The following example uses yourdomain as the name of your domain and any page as the name of the order form or the page you wish to be secure.

Use the following url to call your pages via the secure server.

https://secureservername/yourdomain/anypage.html

Please contact support@allentech.net to find out what secure server your account is on.
