what is SSL?

[ravikiran]

SSL Certificates are small data files that digitally bind a cryptographic key to an organization's details. When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a browser. ... A domain name, server name or hostname.

SSL certificates are used to create an encrypted channel between the client and the server. Transmission of such data as credit card details, account login information, any other sensitive information has to be encrypted to prevent eavesdropping.

Secure Sockets Layer, in short is called in separate terms as SSL.

This is a protocol that helps to provide secure connections between the web server and the web browser.

SSL Certificate works on based on the cryptographic system.

It is a data file that binds digitally a private key to an organization's information.

SSL uses a key pair to encrypt data − a public key known to everyone and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message.

The main purpose of SSL is to provide secure online banking transactions, logins and data transfers. These are mostly useful in securing social media sites.

Https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) works on SSL.

Any websites url that has an url starting with https is meant to be secure.

The SSL Certificate is provided by a certificate authority, A certificate authority is a certificate provider that offers and provides digital certificates.

SSL is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remain private.

When you land on a website page that has a form, after that form is filled-in and you hit 'submit', the information you just entered can be intercepted by a hacker on an unsecure website. To protect your important data from hackers, you need to use SSL. When you visit a website that's encrypted with SSL, your browser will form a connection with the webserver, look at the SSL certificate, and then bind together your browser and the server. This binding connection is secure so that no one besides you and the website you're submitting the information to can see or access your information.

For in depth study regarding SSL you can study a very good guide “A Beginner's Guide to SSL: What It Is & Why It Makes Your Website More Secure” written by Jeffrey Vocell.

SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is an encryption-based Internet security protocol. SSL certificates create a foundation of trust by establishing a secure connection. To assure visitors their connection is secure, browsers provide special visual cues that we call EV indicators -- anything from a green padlock to branded URL bar.

Transport Layer Security, and its now-deprecated predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer, are cryptographic protocols designed to provide communications security over a computer network.

[Propertyseo2020]

SSL/TLS is used in every browser worldwide to provide https ( http secure ) functionality. The latest standard version is TLSv1.

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and, in short, it's the standard technology for keeping an internet connection secure and safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, preventing criminals from reading and modifying any information transferred, including potential personal details.

The main reason SSL is used is to keep sensitive information transmitted over the Internet encrypted so that only the intended recipient can access it. This is important because the information you send over the Internet is transferred from computer to computer in order to get to the target server.
