This, of course, gave rise to online shopping because before SSL, people were concerned that sensitive info, like credit card numbers, wasn't safe in cyberspace⁶.

In fact, in Amazon's early days, folks commonly called the company to give their payment info over the phone. Though online shopping has dramatically changed how people shop in recent years, it carries an additional challenge for retailers⁷.
