How do they increase trust in websites? And how to look beyond the lock to know who's behind the website.
What is SSL and why is it important?
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates, sometimes called digital certificates, are used to establish an encrypted connection between a browser or userโs computer and a server or website.
SSL: SECURE SOCKETS LAYER
SSL is standard technology for securing an internet connection by encrypting data sent between a website and a browser (or between two servers). It prevents hackers from seeing or stealing any information transferred, including personal or financial data.
TLS: Transport Layer Security
TLS is an updated, more secure version of SSL. We still refer to our security certificates as SSL because itโs a more common term, but when you buy SSL from DigiCert, you get the most trusted, up-to-date TLS certificates.
HTTPS: Hyper Text Protocol Secure
HTTPS appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate. Users can view the details of the certificate, including the issuing authority and the corporate name of the website owner, by clicking the lock symbol on the browser bar.
