When you are running an online retail website, your customers need to know that your site offers the highest possible level of security before they will enter their personal information and make any kind of purchase. Today the X 509 certificate or as it is better known the SSL certificate is now considered to be the ultimate proof of security and is something you can display on every page of your website to reassure your customers.
SSL security uses the latest 128 or 256 bit security encryption to ensure that any information entered in your shopping cart is encrypted in such a manner that only the person with the decryption key can decode the information. Having this type of security backed by an X 509 certificate issued by a reputable certificate authority will keep your online retail store a safe place for your customers to shop and displaying will instill the confidence needed for them to spend their money.
