Why do you need SSL?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol create a unique encrypted channel for private communications over the Internet. Sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, becomes encrypted up to 256-bits to help prevent a brute force attack and for the information - and potentially the identity - to be stolen. SSL certificates offer protection to prevent sensitive information from being stolen.
VeriSign - GeoTrust - SBS.
Why only up to 256-bits?
Currently, 256-bits is the highest level of SSL security available. Any brute force attack on an SSL with 256-bit encryption would require not only tools, time and motiviation to attack, but also about a trillion years to break into a session with an SGC-enabled certificate.
How do you know a site has an SSL certificate?
The easiest way to see if any site (including Immortal Design) has an SSL certificate is to check if there is a closed padlock by the URL in the browser window. You can also see if the company has a "trust mark" (such as VeriSign's Trust Seal), a green address bar at the top, or is preceeded by an "https" rather than an "http". Any of these suffice as a form of SSL identification.
