Installing a security certificate
2
A security certificate enables client server authentication 
encryption using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0. Encryption 
provides a secure method to transmit sensitive data, such as 
credit card information, across the Internet. This provides the 
customer an added level of security when sending information 
such as credit card numbers, during a DigiPath WS job 
submission.
NOTE:  Using an SSL certificate increases the security of your 
documents and data, but decreases the server performance.
The security certificate is purchased from a third party vendor 
and installed on the DigiPath WS server.
The following sections provide detailed instructions for installing 
a security certificate by obtaining the security certificate, 
generating the certificate signing request (CSR) and key pair file, 
backing up the CSR and key pair file, and submitting the key 
information to the vendor.
Obtaining the security certificate
2
There are many SSL products, available from vendors such as 
Verisign and GTE Cybertrust. Refer to Table 2-2 for the security 
certificate vendor and their web site.
NOTE:  DigiPath WS does not require any particular SSL 
product.
