Importance of SSL Certificates

[gilman]

Hello friends,
The SSL protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and data forgery. SSL protects network access, online communications, and digital transactions by enabling a secure channel between your servers and your users. With SSL in place, information transmitted from your online store (e.g., via web forms) is encrypted before it is sent over the Internet.
I've got SSL Certificate for my own site and getting advantages of it.

Hi,

I am currently setting up a website and wanted to install a SSL cert. However, currently the i've set up the site on a staging environment. I dont want to get a cert from a third party for my staging site, i heard that there is a way of creating a ssl cert without a certificate server, do you know anything about that?

Thanks

Asil
