As the owner of an online retail business, you are going to be collecting personal information from your customers. This information will include not only the personal contact information, but will also include their banking or credit card information and it is your job to keep it safe and secure. Today the most accepted method of doing this through the use of a digital certificate issued by a Certificate Authority.
The Digital Certificate Lets Your Customers Feel More Secure
Once you have been issued a digital certificate, all of the information that your customers are required to enter in the form on your checkout page is going to be fully encrypted using the latest SSL encryption technology. The only way that anyone can decrypt the information is to have the matching key to the one that was used to encode it and that is only given to the person who has the digital certificate.
