What is SSL and HTTPs?
Solution:
SSL And HTTPS are security protocols created by Netscape Corporation intended to add security and privacy to users on the internet.
SSL - Secure Socket Layer communications - ensures encrypted communication over the internet with a secure server site.
HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure sockets) is a secure web page that typically uses SSL to ensure that no one else can intercept and read the communication between the user and the web site.
The Litronic NetSign product line allows the use of a smart card with a digital certificate to authenticate you to a secure web site using SSL with client authentication. In this way, the web site can be absolutely sure that you are who you say you are using two factor authentication (something you have - a smart card - and something you know - your PIN).
