Website Protection

Many people still unclear about what is security in internet world. Is it secure to purchasing in internet? how to make it sure to the costumer to purchasing in our virtual shop?.

In this article, we will try to discusse about make protection at website :


1. SSL (Secure Socket Layer)

It is a protocol to saved data transfered from web browser to web server. To guarantee it's save an official league be need issued "digital certificate". There are some league like this, one of them is verisign and thawte.

So a sensitive data that transmited from costumer's computer to web server is under protection. You can see this protection from it's URL that is https://domainname.ext (see there are an "s" after http). Padlock mark at your browser will locked also, not unlock as ussually.

See that put all your web site content with this protection will heaving it's work, it consequence is your web site will slow to access. It better if protect the important thing only, like registration form while the other as ussually (without protection).

All done if there are a web server at merchant but how if a merchandiser put it virtual shop in one of web hosting service, and using internet channel (email, ftp) to access it.tantalize inthis case is SSL, beside it unhonest, it like traped the costumer also. Why ? if without any protection at last the costumers know their data are unprotected, it's better than look like protected but it get a back door.

How it solution is ?

2. PGP (Pretty Good Privacy)

PGP is an encrytion software that widely used. It ussually use to encrypting (to disorder with specifict pattern) email so the one who keep the key is the only one who can open the email.

PGP's work is made public key and private key. Both of them made together in one prosses. It purpose is the email that encrypted with the public key can open only with that private key. Can't open without private key or another private key.

So it application is, you give your public key to your colleague, while keep your private key quiet, to prevent it from a wrong hand. whoever want send a secret messages, that only you can open it, must send the email with encription using your public key.with same principle, if you want your transaction data save, send your public key to us and we will attach in your web site. All the email that sent only can open using a private key at you.
