SSL security has been found to offer superior protection when compared to SSH protocol because SSL protocols make use of an X 509 Certificate which is better known as an SSL Certificate. The SSH protocol uses keys instead and as such are more susceptible to being compromised. The SSL package does make use of a key but at the same time requires further information about the owner of the certificate to ensure complete protection.
This certificate is usually issued by a Certificate Authority such as Digi-Sign as they are a trustworthy source who has taken the necessary steps to verify the identity of the company who they are issuing the X 509 certificate to in order to protect the company who owns the certificate and the public who will be counting on the owner to protect any information that they share over the Internet such as contact information, credit card information or private data.
