This ensures reasonable protection from eavesdropping and hacker attacks and, provided they are adequate and the use of wing blades and verification of this certificate is the server and reliable. Inherent in the network depends on the trust certificates big safe that comes pre-installed in the browser (this is equivalent to saying "I trust certificate authority (such as VeriSign / Microsoft / etc.) To tell me to give him confidence.") And on the web site can be trusted for that network connectivity if and only if all of the following is true: the user and hopes that implement their software correctly with the web browser pre-installed certificate authorities correctly. User trusts the power to witness testimony only to legitimate sites without the ...
