SSL Certificate

Short for Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet.

By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:. The certificate is installed on a secure server and used to identify the merchant using it and to encrypt the credit card, and other sensitive data.
