Here’s a detailed breakdown of its key aspects:
What is an SSL Certificate?
- Authentication:
- Identity Verification: SSL certificates confirm that a website is legitimate and that the server you’re communicating with is indeed the one you intend to reach. This helps prevent phishing attacks and other forms of online fraud.
- Encryption:
- Data Protection: SSL certificates enable encrypted communication between a user’s browser and the web server. This ensures that any data transferred between the two is secure and cannot be intercepted or read by unauthorized parties. Encryption protects sensitive information such as credit card numbers, login credentials, and personal data.
