    How Does SSL work?

    The whole encryption and decryption is a complicated process and it happens in different steps. They are: -
    1. Step 1: - Browser attempt to connect a to website secured with an SSL certificate, it asks the web server to identify itself.
    2. Step 2: - Server sends a copy of its SSL Certificate, including the server’s public key.
    3. Step 3: - Browser checks the certificate root against a list of trusted CAs and that the certificate is unexpired, unrevoked, and that its common name is valid for the website that it is connecting to. If the browser trusts the certificate, it creates, encrypts, and sends back a symmetric session key using the server’s public key.
    4. Step 4: - Server decrypts the symmetric session key using its private key and sends back an acknowledgement encrypted with the session key to start the encrypted session.
    5. Step 5: - At the end, Server and Browser can communicate safely across the internet, no matter where they are.

    For SSL/TLS negotiation to take place, the system administrator must prepare the minimum of 2 files: Private Key and Certificate. When requesting from a Certificate Authority such as Symantec Trust Services, an additional file must be created. This file is called Certificate Signing Request, generated from the Private Key.

    A browser tries to connect to a website that is secured with SSL and requests the website to identify itself.
    The website sends a copy of its SSL certificate to your browser
    The browser then checks if SSL certificate is reliable and trustworthy. If it is, the browser sends a message to the website.
    The website responds to this message by sending a digitally signed acknowledgement to start an SSL encrypted session.
    This encrypted session results in secure sharing of data between the website and the browser. This enables websites to have protected online transactions with their customers.

    Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client—typically a web server (website) and a browser, or a mail server and a mail client (e.g., Outlook).

    Hi Friends,
    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. The web server sends back a digitally signed acknowledgement to start an SSL encrypted session. Encrypted data is shared between the browser/server and the web server.

    How SSL Works:

    1.When a browser visits a website, provided the site has an SSL/ TLS certificate, the two begin what is known as the SSL handshake.

    2.The first step of the SSL handshake involves the browser checking the validity of the SSL certificate, making sure it is authenticated by a legitimate party and therefore trustworthy.

    3.Every SSL certificate has two keys, an associated public key and a private key. Separately, their job is to handle encryption and decryption to communicate securely during the SSL handshake.

    4.After the browser (the client) confirms the SSL certificate is valid, the client and website (the server) create what’s known as a session key, this is a third key. The third key (the symmetric key) is used for the remained of the secure connection.

    5.The handshake takes places over a few hundred milliseconds. Once a secure connection is established, the client and server are communicating safely.

    SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It's a protocol used to encrypt and authenticate the data sent between an application (like your browser) and a web server. This leads to a more secure web for both you and the visitors to your website. SSL is closely tied to another acronym – TLS.

    As companies and organizations offer more online services and transactions, internet security becomes both a priority and a necessity of their online transactions to ensure that sensitive information – such as a credit card number – is only being transmitted to legitimate online businesses.

    In order to keep customer information private and secure, companies and organizations need to add SSL certificates to their websites to enable secure online transactions.
