Secure Socket Layer
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL), created by Netscape, is a solution for securing transactions over the
internet. SSL is a communication protocol that authenticates the data exchanged, as well as ensuring its
confidentiality and integrity. The protocol uses a recognized encryption method, the RSA algorithm with
a public key. SSL is built into Internet Web browsers. The padlock in the bottom of your browser screen
is automatically displayed if the server sending information uses SSL.
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
TCP/IP is a family of network and communication protocols for the transport and network layers. Also
known as the Internet Protocol suite of network communication protocols.
