If you are transmitting sensitive data over the Internet, such as credit card details, private, mission critical or protected information, you should consider using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) / TLS (Transport Layer Security) Server Certificate technology.
SSL / TLS security is considered important if performing electronic commerce over the Internet. Internet users feel safer if they are sending details over an encrypted (secure) connection rather than an unencrypted (insecure) connection as the details could be at risk of intercepted by a hacker.
