CommerceServer/400 was the first SSL (Secure Sockets layer)-enabled Web server for the AS/400. Using CommerceServer/400, visitors to your Web site obtain information in the same way that browsers access your site today. However, when that data is transferred, it is completely encrypted. Even the most sophisticated hackers are "thwarted at the gate."

The CommerceServer/400 Business Advantage:

	Instant, continuous communication of your marketing message to your current and potential customers
	Worldwide access to your company's AS/400 data from your remote sites...
	...With the protection of the most secure Web server available
	World-wide Internet access to product catalog data or online newsletters
PLUS...
	Encryption - World-wide Internet access to product catalog data or online newsletters
	Improved Data Integrity No more transmission errors due to noisy communication lines No malicious modifications made by hackers between the server and browser.
	Data Authentication - Visitors to your site may be assured that they have reached your site and not an impersonation. Credit card purchasers can be confident that they are giving their credit card number to a known entity.
	Delivery of Online Receipts - CommerceServer/400 provides proof that a document, such as a receipt for an online purchase, originated at your Web site. Shoppers can have confidence in this receipt because it proves your Web site knew of its contents before sending it.

The CommerceServer/400 Technical Advantage:

	Encryption Data transferred from server to user browser is completely encrypted User-entered data typed into a form on a Web page (such as credit card numbers, access codes, personal information, or sensitive corporate information) is protected using strong encryption technologies. Encryption protects your data from being "sniffed" and interpreted
	Data Integrity - Commerce Server/400 essentially guarantees that the data sent between the browser and server is unaltered during transmission. Transmission errors due to both noisy communication lines and malicious modifications possibly made between the server and browser are detected. CommerceServer/400's message integrity service ensures that SSL (secure sockets layer) session traffic does not change en route to its final destination.
	Authentication Visitors to your site can be confident that they have reached your site and not an impostor Digital certificates are used to identify an entity such as an individual, a machine on the network, or an organization. Mutual authentication supported: in which the server convinces the client of its identity and (optionally) the client convinces the server of its identity (which are coded in the form of public-key certificates). The certificates are exchanged during the SSL handshake.
