Secure Socket Layer (SSL) – Another IT Achievement

NEWS SSGC has successfully implemented SSL on the View Bill Server which enables secure and encrypted data communication. SSL stands for “Secure Socket Layer”. SLL technology protects your website and allows customers and potential customers to trust your website with their personal information, by encrypting important information during different online transactions.

An SSL certificate provides private communication channels for data transmission and encrypts it with a special code. The encryption used for the information being transferred has been compared to that of an envelope being sent through the mail. The envelope protects what is inside, and prevents the contents on the inside of the envelope being seen until it reaches the receiver or where it needs to be.

With the implementation of SSL on the View Bill server, now, the user name, password, and other data transmitted to and from the server is in encrypted form, securing the data communication between the server and user. The SSL Certificate has been issued to SSGC by Norton / Verisign which is the global industry standard for SSL certificates. The certificate supports 128-bit data encryption which, in future, will enable SSGC to accept credit card and online payments through the View Bill website.

Norton / Verisign has issued a Norton Secured Seal to SSGC for the View Bill server which verifies and authenticates SSGCA/iew Bill server to be providing the highest level of trust and security to its customers through implementation of SSL. The project was led by Mazhar Usman, DCM (VAS) whereas VAS’s Executive Sharjeel Jan played the key role in the implementation of SSL who was ably assisted by Naveed Shamim.
