I have an Intranet web site that has a form where user enters social security number and other sensitive information. The Web server that processes the info is behind a Firewall.
I want to register an SSL certificate on the Web Server to protect the transmission of information from the Web Form to the Server. Please advise if this is necessary since the Web Form is an Intranet Site and the web server is behind a Firewall?
I assume I need SSL to protect the Web Form information from the Client workstation until it gets to the Firewall and then web server or how does this process work with protecting the information??
