Web sites hosted on web servers that are secured with a valid SSL certificate will display a security lock icon at the bottom of the web browser screen. The icon will change from the opened position to the locked position upon entering a secured area of the site. In addition, when a secure server connection is established between the user's web browser and the merchant's web server, the URL will display "https://" in its address. The "s" represents "secure." In an e-commerce web site without SSL, there will be no security lock icon, and the URL address will also not display the "s" after "http." The browser will sometimes even show a window screen alerting the shopper that he or she is entering and leaving a secure area, usually during the checkout process.
