 Encryption Techniques

• SSL uses encryption techniques to transfer data and personal information. The encrypted data are not understood unless examined or translated under the process of SSL protocol. The protocol outlines how algorithms (formulas used to encrypt) are to be used to comply with SSL standards. SSL protocol looks for key agreement (the successful exchange of keys or passwords, also called signatures), authentication (the establishment of each party's identity), a secured transport mechanism (once authenticated and secured, data are sent in a manner outlined by the protocol) and nonrepudiation (proof of the integrity of data can be provided). Secured transport is assured through a hash function (algorithms that reduce large data amounts into smaller amounts).
