How to securing a website with client SSL certificate
Reason to Implement SSL in Website..
Many web authors are not server administrators, are not familiar with the configuration of the hosting server and in fact do not even know if it runs Apache or IIS. The web author and the server administrator need to cooperate in order to implement SSL (and user certificate authentication, if desired). To find out if the server is configured for SSL, go to the URL in question, and replace the http with https. If that works, then SSL is set up. If not, your server admin will either need to set it up or ask you to move your site to a different server. To contact the server admin, create a helpdesk ticket stating that you wish to have SSL (and optionally client authentication via certificates) set up on your site.
Here are some guidelines for the ticket problem description:
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): How It Works
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology protects your Web site and makes it easy for your Web site visitors to trust you in three essential ways:
1. An SSL Certificate enables encryption of sensitive information during online transactions. 2. Each SSL Certificate contains unique, authenticated information about the certificate owner. 3. A Certificate Authority verifies the identity of the certificate owner when it is issued.
Why need SSL
* you have an online store or accept online orders and credit cards * you offer a login or sign in on your site * you process sensitive data such as address, birth date, license, or ID numbers * you need to comply with privacy and security requirements * you value privacy and expect others to trust you.
How Encryption Works Imagine sending mail through the postal system in a clear envelope. Anyone with access to it can see the data. If it looks valuable, they might take it or change it. An SSL Certificate establishes a private communication channel enabling encryption of the data during transmission. Encryption scrambles the data, essentially creating an envelope for message privacy.
Each SSL Certificate consists of a public key and a private key. The public key is used to encrypt information and the private key is used to decipher it. When a Web browser points to a secured domain, a Secure Sockets Layer handshake authenticates the server (Web site) and the client (Web browser). An encryption method is established with a unique session key and secure transmission can begin. True 128-bit SSL Certificates enable every site visitor to experience the strongest SSL encryption available to them.
Why Authentication Matters Like a passport or a driver’s license, an SSL Certificate is issued by a trusted source, known as the Certificate Authority (CA). Many CAs simply verify the domain name and issue the certificate. VeriSign verifies the existence of your business, the ownership of your domain name, and your authority to apply for the certificate, a higher standard of authentication.
VeriSign Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates meet the highest standard in the Internet security industry for Web site authentication as required by CA/Browser Forum. EV SSL Certificates give high-security Web browsers information to clearly display a Web site’s organizational identity. The high-security Web browser’s address bar turns green and reveals the name of the organization that owns the SSL Certificate and the SSL Certificate Authority that issued it. Because VeriSign is the most recognized name in online security, VeriSign SSL Certificates with Extended Validation will give Web site visitors an easy and reliable way to establish trust online.
