Digital certificates encrypt data using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, the industry-standard method for protecting web communications developed by Netscape Communications Corporation. The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. SSL is built into all major web browsers (Netscape and Explorer). You know you connection is secure when a closed padlock icon appears in the lower left corner of your browser window. How Digital Certificates Work? In physical transactions, the challenges of identification, authentication, and privacy are solved with physical marks, such as seals or signatures. In electronic transactions, the equivalent of a seal must be coded into the information, itself. By checking that the electronic "seal" is present and has not been broken, the recipient can confirm the identity of the message sender and ensure that the message content was not altered in transit. To create an electronic equivalent of physical security, VeriSign uses advanced cryptography. Throughout history, most private messages were kept secret with single key cryptography. Single key cryptography is the way that most secret messages have been sent over the centuries. In secret key cryptography, there is a unique code (or key) for both encrypting and decrypting messages. Single key cryptography works as follows: Suppose Bob has one secret key. If Alice wants to send Bob a secret message:
Unfortunately, this method has several problems. First, Bob must find a secure method of getting his secret key to Alice. If the secret key is intercepted, all of Bob's communications are compromised. Second, Bob needs to trust Alice. If Alice is a double agent, she may give Bob's secret key to his enemies. Or, she may read Bob's other private messages or even imitate Bob. Finally, if you have an organization with people who need to exchange secret messages, you will either need to have thousands (if not millions) of secret keys, or you will need to rely on a smaller number of keys, which opens the door to compromise.
VeriSign Secure Server ID technology employs the more advanced public-key
cryptography, which does not involve the sharing of secret keys. Rather
than using the same key to both encrypt and decrypt data, a Secure Server
ID uses a matched pair of keys that uniquely complement each another.
When a message is encrypted by one key, only the other key can decrypt
it. |
