Should a SSL certificate be missing, all information sent through a website may be intercepted and modified. The SSL certificate ensures the confidentiality and the integrity of the data belonging to the users of such websites as e-trade, e-banking and any type of site, senhsitive to its clients’ safety.
Web server certificates offer you the certainty that only the authenticated clients can access your published information. The usage of a SSL certificate, exempts you from generating and reinitiating passwords and user accounts. The users’ registration process on the site is much safer and easier to administrate due to the authentication based on 2 elements:
- Something that the user holds: the smart card with his digital certificate stored in;
- Something that the user knows: access password (PIN code).
