Protect Your Website with Tighter Security: Use ECC SSL Certificates
SSL Certificates are deemed to provide protection to websites and Internet users who visit websites and do transactions such as purchasing of products and paying for services. Websites and Internet users are always safe and secured when they visit sites that are protected with SSL Certificates. And that tight security is still being improved. ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) SSL Certificates are now created to make the encryption of the data and transactions on a website more secure.
This new kind of certificate is much harder to hack because of the process of determining the private or public product key pair. The old methods that hackers used to employ in hacking websites will not be effective in hacking websites that are secured by ECC SSL Certificates.
Advantages of the New SSL Certificate Type
- Security
Because of the improved encryption of the data of Elliptic Curve Cryptography SSL Certificates, hackers won’t be able to hack websites and transactions, making websites more secured.
The algorithm used in this certificate is harder to be attacked by hackers. Thus, third party interception won’t be a problem anymore.
- Shorter Key Length
The new SSL Certificate is able to provide superior security without using lengthy keys. 256-bit ECC SSL Certificates are able to provide the same protection to websites as a 3072-bit RSA key. This enables the new kind of certificate to provide maximum performance without sacrificing the performance of your website or certificate.
Also, because of the shorter key length, the certificate requires lesser bandwidth. Thus, mobile users will have a better user experience browsing a website with this new certificate.
