The
VeriSign Secured Seal appears on Web pages secured by VeriSign SSL Certificates.
The seal helps Web site visitors determine that their transaction will
be secure and that the site is authentic.
What the VeriSign Secured Seal Means
The
VeriSign Secured Seal displays on pages in a domain secured by VeriSign
SSL Certificates. When a browser points to a secured domain, a secure
sockets layer handshake authenticates the server and the client and
establishes an encryption method and a unique session key. You can begin
a secure session that guarantees message privacy and message integrity.
