    Required to protect sensitive data online

How do you know that I am who I say I am? Likewise, how do I know you are who you say you are?

And, if we can’t catapult past this initial, basic level of trust – how will we ever be able to conduct business together?

In the web world, it’s done with an SSL certificate. SSL stands for ‘Secure Sockets Layer,’ which protects information transferred conventionally over the web using encryption enabled by the certificate.

According to tech-encyclopedia.com, an SSL digital certificate is “an electronic file that uniquely identifies individuals and servers. Digital certificates allow the client (web browser) to authenticate the server prior to establishing an SSL session.”

In more palatable language, the SSL certificate ensures that each party in an electronic transaction is identified accurately. It is the standard by which electronic transactions can be made with confidence.
For example, some folks look for the picture of the padlock in the bottom-right corner of a browser window. Others look for the ‘s’ in https:// as part of the URL protocol. Either is indicative of an SSL certificate being established on a web site – and in particular, the part of a web site where you would enter sensitive information.

Larry Rubin, owner and President of Boston ClayWorks, started his business in 2003. He was a crafter who made a stained-glass chessboard and needed the pieces to go with it. “I wanted to make my own to reflect the look of the board I had made,” he explains. He eventually stumbled onto polymer clay to use for this project and liked it so much that he began working with it. “I attended craft shows and was focusing on creating functional items with various components that I purchased from a multitude of sources,” he says. “After a while I wondered if other artists might be interested in my kits.” So, he started selling some of his kits and they were very popular. “My business has been expanding ever since,” Rubin explains.

Rubin has had his website with IPOWER since August of 2003 and has loved every minute of it so far. “I’ve had two other service providers in the past and had horrible experiences,” he explains. The first provider he had sold the company to someone else who didn’t transfer the data and one day his website was just gone without warning. The second provider constantly had service outages that left his customers unable to reach his website for periods of time. Since he conducts the majority of his business online, such outages really hurt his sales. “We haven’t experienced one service outage since switching to IPOWER three years ago,” he says.
