SSL refers to a standard security technology that is used for establishing an encrypted link between a client and a server. SSL allows secured transmission of critical user information to be transmitted between browsers and web servers. This information is sent in plain text. SSL certificates have a pair of keys, namely- a private key and a public key. This pair of keys work together for establishing a connection that is highly encrypted. SSL encryption also contains the identity of the certificate and the website owner.
