Secure Data Transmission with SSL

Secure Socket Layer

Entering text in the Internet is like sending postcards. With a little effort, everybody is able to read your data. - Unfortunately there are unfriendly people in the Internet, who are misusing your personal data (e.G. Email Address, Postal Address, Bank Account or Consumer Behaviour).

The only prevention against illegal listening is an encoding of the data. The most often used technique is the SSL-System (Secure Socket Layer). With this method the complete data stream between two computers is encoded in both directions. Only the knowledge of the right key enables the deciphering of the data packages.

The core of the SSL encoding is a separate security server in the Internet, which is responsible for the distribution of the keys. This server assures, that there is only one key for each new connection. This means that two customers connected with us are not able to listen to each others traffic. Each key is different.

All this happens without any input from you. All you see is that the lock in the bottom line of the browser closes. The first time you enter our secure shop, you have to confirm the connection with the security server. - That's all.
