What is SSL and How it Works
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a security technology that encrypts the link between a web server and a web browser. An SSL-established link ensures that all data passed between the web server and the web browser is remains private and secure.
When your browser connects to an SSL-enabled web server that hosts the online accounting software, it automatically requests ask the server for a digital Certificate of Authority (CA). The browser makes sure that the domain name matches with the name of the CA and that the CA bears a valid digital signature.
This verification process ensures that you will not be transmitting sensitive data to a hacker or imposter site.
After establishing a secure connection, SSL encrypts data before being transmitted and decrypts data before receiving. Doing so will make sensitive data unreadable and hack-proof en route.
