How Do SSL Certificates Work?

1.A browser attempts to connect to a website secured with SSL.
2.The browser requests that the web server identify itself.
3.The server sends the browser a copy of its SSL Certificate.
4.The browser checks whether it trusts the SSL Certificate. If so, it sends a message to the server.
5.The server sends back a digitally signed acknowledgement to start an SSL encrypted session.

An SSL or TLS certificate works by storing your randomly generated keys (public and private) in your server. The public key is verified with the client and the private key used in the decryption process. HTTP is just a protocol, but when paired with TLS or transport layer security it becomes encrypted.

The web server sends the browser/server a copy of its SSL certificate. The browser/server checks to see whether or not it trusts the SSL certificate. If so, it sends a message to the web server. The web server sends back a digitally signed acknowledgement to start an SSL encrypted session.

SSL means secure socket layer. But that protocol has been deprecated and replaced by Transport Layer Security (TLS). Because so many got used to using the SSL acronym we still use it, the two are interchangeable today, but the actual encryption is TLS, not SSL today.

A browser or server attempts to connect to a website (i.e. a web server) secured with SSL. The browser/server requests that the web server identify itself. The web server sends the browser/server a copy of its SSL certificate. The browser/server checks to see whether or not it trusts the SSL certificate.
