SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates are digital certificates that authenticate the identity of a website and encrypt information sent to the server using SSL/TLS technology. When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol, ensuring secure connections from a web server to a browser.
The automated process that secures your user's connection in milliseconds.
User's browser attempts to connect to your SSL-secured website
Server sends a copy of its SSL certificate to the browser
Browser checks if the certificate is trusted and valid
Encrypted connection is established between browser and server
