Description: Any information transmitted over computer networks, or the Internet, is subject to interception. Some of that information could be sensitive, such as credit card numbers and other personal data. To make the Internet more useful in an enterprise setting and for e-commerce, applications must protect their users' information, using encryption, authentication, and secure communications protocols. The secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), which is HTTP over the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), is already being used successfully for e-commerce applications.
