Advantages
Privacy
Privacy is given through encryption. Although information can still be intercepted by a third party, they will be unable to read any information as they have no access to the encryption key.
Integrity
Integrity is also ensured through encryption. If information is received that will not decrypt properly then the recipient knows that the information has been tampered with during transmission.
Authentication
Authentication is provided through digital certificates.
Large Browser Deployment
Virtually everybody that uses the internet uses a version of either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Both browsers support SSL. Therefore potential customers on the Internet don’t need any software.
Disadvantages
Uncertainty
Many people feel unsafe giving their credit card details over the Internet. This is the biggest problem e-commerce faces. Even though giving your credit card details over the phone is less secure, there still exists a perception that using the internet is not safe.
Key Size
SSL is limited to 40 bit keys. Even though it is very difficult to break 40 bit encryption, it is still possible.
Card Details
Even if the transaction between customer and merchant is secure, the merchant will have the customer’s credit card details, probably on a database. How safe are these details? Is it possible for someone to steal them.
