SSL, or secure socket layer, provides credit card processors and merchants with some basic security to safely complete credit card transactions without criminals intercepting a customer’s personal information. SSL consists of a 128-bit encryption. Some credit card processors use 3DES for their data encryption. 3DES encrypts information three times over 64-bit keys, resulting in a total of 192-bit encryption.
