The SSL<\/strong> technology<\/strong> or SSL protocol (secure socket layers<\/strong>), is a security protocol<\/strong> that provides a secure channel for the transit of information between two devices operating over the Internet<\/strong>, the most common case where you can perceive the use of SSL<\/strong> is to protect communications<\/strong> between a web browser<\/strong> and a server<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<p><\/strong>From a technical perspective, <b>the SSL is used to establish a secure navigation<\/b><\/strong>, an <b>HTTP<\/b><\/strong> protocol <b>is not secure<\/b><\/strong> at all, <b>through HTTP the data is transported as a plain text<\/b><\/strong>, this means that <b>any individual or intruder<\/b><\/strong> who intercepts that information <b>will have access to it<\/b><\/strong>. When an <b>SSL protocol<\/b><\/strong> is used, it <b>guarantees<\/b><\/strong> that <b>the information is encrypted<\/b><\/strong> and <b>protected against foreign agents<\/strong>.<\/b><\/p><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<p><\/strong>To identify <b>a website that uses SSL<\/b><\/strong> just look at <b>the address bar<\/b>,<\/strong> where <b>the URL should be presented as HTTPS<\/b><\/strong> instead of HTTP. Either way <b>Browsers<\/b><\/strong> like <b>Chrome<\/strong> will tell us when sites are secure or alert us if they are not<\/strong>.<\/b><\/p><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<p><\/strong>Now, <b>how does SSL work?<\/b><\/strong> The <b>SSL protocol<\/b><\/strong> works in a way that is <b>compatible<\/b><\/strong> with the <b>principles of information<\/strong> security<\/strong>: encryption<\/b><\/strong>, which protects the <b>transmission of data<\/b> <\/strong>between computers or servers, <b>authentication<\/b><\/strong>, which ensures that we are <b>connecting<\/b><\/strong> to the <b>correct server<\/b><\/strong> and, finally, <b>data integrity<\/b><\/strong> which <b>guarantees<\/b><\/strong> that <b>the data or information<\/b><\/strong> requested and\/or sent <b>is<\/strong> legitimate<\/strong>.<\/b><\/p><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<p><\/strong>To obtain <b>an SSL Security Protocol<\/b><\/strong>, you need to <b>purchase an SSL certificate<\/b><\/strong>, which is <b>a data file that digitally binds a cryptographic key to your company or organization’s data<\/b><\/strong>, be it <b>a web domain<\/b><\/strong>, a <b>server<\/b><\/strong> or <b>host<\/b><\/strong>. Once in place, the certificate will <b>activate the padlock and the HTTPS protocol on your website<\/b><\/strong>, thus <b>enabling a secure connection from the web server to the browser<\/b><\/strong>. It is important to know that <b>an SSL certificate must be issued by a trusted certificate authority<\/strong>.<\/b><\/p><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<p><b>SSL certificates<\/b><\/strong> use a <b>key encryption technology<\/b><\/strong>, making use of <b>two keys<\/strong> (which are long sequences of random numbers<\/strong>), one of the keys will be private and the other public<\/b><\/strong>. To understand this imagine a <b>subject A<\/b><\/strong> and a <b>subject B<\/b><\/strong>, where <b>subject B represents the website<\/b><\/strong> in question, remember that there are two keys, when <b>subject A sends a message to subject B<\/strong>, that message will be encrypted with the public key<\/b><\/strong> of the site, <b>to decrypt the message subject B, as site administrator, must make use of the private key that only he possess<\/b><\/strong>. Thus, <b>if a third party intercepts the message before subject B does, all he will see is an undecipherable cryptographic code<\/b><\/strong>, since he does not possess the site’s private key.<\/p><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<p><\/strong>In this increasingly <b>globalized<\/strong> and interconnected<\/b><\/strong> world where <b>Internet transactions are growing every day<\/b><\/strong>, it is <b>important that our customers feel secure<\/b><\/strong> when <b>performing any transaction or operation from our website<\/b><\/strong>, whether it is <b>a simple login or a financial transaction<\/b><\/strong>, it is <b>essential to guarantee our users secure access<\/b><\/strong> to <b>reinforce their confidence<\/b><\/strong> that their <b>data and information will be protected<\/strong>.<\/b><\/p><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<p><b>Quint advertising<\/b><\/strong> can <b>manage the purchase of SSL certificates for your website<\/b><\/strong>, always <b>following the recommendations and parameters of experts and reliable authorities such as the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and the CA\/Browser forum<\/b><\/strong>, besides that, we will <b>install and fully configure your certificate<\/b><\/strong>, giving you <b>a website completely ready to use<\/strong>, ensuring the trust of your users and the secure exchange of information on your website<\/strong>.<\/b><\/p> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
