The increasing popularity of shopping online has given rise to justified concerns about security. The safety of financial data provided online and the trustworthiness of the supplier are just two of the concerns of online shoppers.
One particular concern is that of spoofed websites, those where a hacker has either hijacked the legitimate site, or created one that looks very similar, but is designed to steal financial information.
Many e-retailers use the services of third parties as part of their payment processes, and to add a level of trust to the transactions. Third parties such as Verisign can give the customer the confidence to make an online payment. In this article, you will get all about security systems, VeriSign secured mean, How it works, and the purpose of Verisign... Read on.

What does VeriSign secured mean?
All websites have an address of the type ABC.def.ghi.KLM that the Internet uses to establish a connection between the customer and the website. Because most people find it easier to remember widgets.com than 171.35.234.181, the Domain Name System (“DNS”) establishes a correspondence between the two.
DNS information is kept in a register managed by registrars, of whom Verisign is one. Maintaining the security and integrity of the DNS database is critical to the correct functioning of the internet.
The critical role performed by Verisign in keeping the DNS is key to achieving that goal.
Verisign supports a unique, proprietary DNS registration and resolution infrastructure. is has been designed built for dependability in an environment of malware attacks such as ransomware and cyber threats increasing in frequency and virulence. Their network of hardware and specialized software is installed globally across hundreds of points of presence. It has provided uninterrupted resolution service for the .com and .net top-level domains (TLDs) for over 24 years.
How to obtain a Verisign SSL Certification?
To ensure the validity of the DNS environment, several companies, called Certificate Authorities (CA’s), issue Digital Certificates. The two largest and most widely supported CA’s are VeriSign and Thawte.VeriSign certificates are supported by a larger number of (much) older web browsers.
Simply put, when a user connects to a website, the local browser uses the certificate to ensure that the website is who it says it is and establishes a secure connection between the browser and the site.
How do secure certificates work?
A key part of online security is the encryption of the data being transferred between the user and the website. This goes a long way to preventing the theft of data and the malware exploit known as the “man-in-the-middle”. The encryption is achieved using SSL technology. Read More.
