What is an SSL Certificate?

An SSL Certificate (Secure Sockets Layer) is a digital security certificate that provides encrypted connections between a user and a website, ensuring the site's identity and fulfilling security requirements. It acts like a sealed envelope, ensuring that information shared between the user and the website only reaches the website's servers and remains secure from third parties. An SSL certificate prevents third parties from accessing important personal information of users, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and credit card or bank account details. The primary purpose of an SSL certificate is to protect data privacy. Additionally, some types of SSL certificates are issued after authentication by certificate providers, which also indicates the reliability of the company and the website.
