    SSL is the standard for establishing an encrypted connection between a web browser and a web server. The encrypted connection uses cryptography to obscure the data being sent between the two parties, so that the data remains private and untampered with. SSL is the only widely deployed solution for encrypting information in transit and is the result of years of collaboration between industry leaders. SSL is used by millions of people every day to secure website connections.

    Basically SSL certificates encrypt the data that goes from your computer to the target website and back:

    your browser connects server (your target website) on a SSL port;
    server sends back its public key;the client(your browser) decides if it’s ok to proceed - it checks if the public key isn’t expired, and if it is verified or "signed" by a trusted third party Certificate Authority, whose job is to verify server application for a digital SSL certificate;
    if the client decides to trust the certificate, it sends his public key to the server;
    then the server creates the encrypted message, using client’s public key and server’s private key, and send the message back to the browser;
    client’s browser decrypts the message;

    The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the most widely deployed security protocol used today.

    Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) was the most widely deployed cryptographic protocol to provide security over internet communications before it was preceded by TLS (Transport Layer Security) in 1999. Despite the deprecation of the SSL protocol and the adoption of TLS in its place, most people still refer to this type of technology as ‘SSL’.

    SSL provides a secure channel between two machines or devices operating over the internet or an internal network. One common example is when SSL is used to secure communication between a web browser and a web server.

    SSL works by encrypting communications online. Every time you send a message from Gmail, log in to Twitter or Facebook, or PayPal money to someone, a hidden layer of encryption protects your user data and any related information that sails through the internet. These sites all use HTTPS, a much more secure version of the standard HTTP protocol that facilitates web communication.

    The primary reason why SSL is used is to keep sensitive information sent across the Internet encrypted so that only the intended recipient can access it. This is important because the information you send on the Internet is passed from computer to computer to get to the destination server.

    Typically, SSL is used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer and logins, and more recently is becoming the norm when securing browsing of social media sites. SSL Certificates bind together: A domain name, server name or hostname. An organizational identity (i.e. company name) and location.
