It is the transformation of encrypted text back into normal text. • There are number of algorithms available in the market today. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) • SSL protocol is used for securing web transactions on the Internet. It was developed by Netscape. • During the E-commerce transaction, all the information is exchanged in secure manner using SSL by encrypting all the messages. • It also provides the authentication of the merchant or shopper using a digital certificate so that the customer knows that they are communicating with a valid owner. • To identify whether a site is secured, a security logo is present on the screen. • If a site is secured by VeriSign, then the security logo of VeriSign is displayed on the login screen of the secured site. • On clicking, you will get the owner information and the validity of the certificate. • This indicates that the communication with this site is secured and the owner of the website is valid who is certified by the authority like VeriSign. • The other indication of the security is that whenever connection is made to the secured site its address starts from https:// rather than http://.
