SSL Certificates Explained
An SSL certificate contains the following information:
- The domain name for which the certificate was issued.
- The owner of the certificate and the domain name.
- The physical location of the owner.
- The validity dates of the certificate.
When you connect to a secure web site such as https://www.eway.com.au, our server authenticates itself to your web browser by
presenting a digital certificate. This certificate is evidence that an independent trusted third party has verified that the website
belongs to the company it claims to belong to. A valid certificate gives customers confidence that they are sending personal information
securely, and to the right place.
SSL certificates provide you with proof of your website's identity, and increase customer confidence in the integrity and
security of your online business.
Online shoppers are becoming increasingly aware of the advantages of SSL security and will often not purchase
online from non-secure web sites. All major web merchants use SSL security to convince customers that their details are safe in order to buy online.
