A SSL encrypted web server
encrypts the data stream between itself and the client machine - effectively between your browser and the web server hosting the site. This enables you to send confidential details (personal details, credit card numbers etc.) over a
"secure" link.SSL is an acronym for "Secure Socket Layer".
The level of encryption varies depending on which country you are in as due to restrictions and export controls not all countries are
licensed to use some of the higher levels of encryption.
In most cases (outside the US) 40-bit encryption is used - for some banking applications 128-bit encryption is available.
