Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server (where the payment is taken) and a browser (where the payment information is entered). In our proposed social payment system (QuidLink) we need the users to feel safe and secure while using our service by taking the required steps in providing sensitive data protection.

SSL will help QuidLink in gaining users confidence in our service as it will:

• Encrypt users sensitive data (Like users account details, credit card number) .
• Authenticate the identity of our service
