The SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol is the Web standard for encrypting communications between users and Web sites. Data sent online via an SSL connection is protected by 128-bit encryption to prevent eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data.

These secure SSL conections provide businesses and consumers with the confidence that personal information such as credit card numbers are being transmitted securely between their browser and the web server.

In order to initialize an SSL session you will first need to purchase a SSL Web server certificate. DotToGo is proud to offer certificates from GeoTrust which is not only one of the most trusted names in the business but is also the world's second largest digital certificate provider.

GeoTrust certificates are recognized by over 99% of all browsers.

1. GeoTrust QuickSSL Certificate

E-commerce secured by SSL in about ten minutes…for less.
With GeoTrust QuickSSL web server certificates, you and your customers can conduct secure Internet transactions with confidence. QuickSSL offers REAL 128-bit SSL encryption — all for less than what you'd pay for some other SSL solutions. And unlike other products, you don't have to wait days - GeoTrust will issue your QuickSSL certificate in about ten minutes thanks to advanced authentication technology that ensures web server certificates are only issued to fully authorized recipients.

Advanced authentication technology that's ours alone.
By activating the browser's "LOCK" icon, QuickSSL assures online visitors that credit card account numbers and other confidential information cannot be viewed, intercepted or altered.

Online Access to your Business Profile.
As part of the provisioning process with QuickSSL, your business will be registered with ChoicePoint* and assigned a ChoicePoint Unique Identifier (CUI) — equivalent to a DUNS number. This business registration profile initially contains the basic self-reported information from your CSR — your Domain, Company Name, Division, Country, State and City. ChoicePoint will allow relying parties to view and purchase additional data about your company. With access to your corporate profile, your customers can be confident conducting business online. With the ChoicePoint Unique Identifier, our industry-recognized domain control authentication, and our two-factor telephony authentication, QuickSSL has the strongest real-time authentication process on the market today.
