The SSL Protocol prevents message tampering, eavesdropping, and message forgery

The SSL Protocol was developed by Netscape in 1994 to transmit private documents over the internet. To encrypt the data, it uses two keys, one of which is a public key that is known to everyone, the other is a private key, and the recipient of the message is the only one who knows the private key.

Netscape and Internet Explorer both support SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer. Many websites also use the protocol to collect sensitive user information, such as credit card numbers. Any website that requires an SSL connection begins with HTTPS, instead of HTTP, and there is a padlock at the bottom of the webpage. If you use Mozilla Firefox, the padlock shows up in the address bar to. If the website URL does not begin with HTTPS and the padlock is not there then the site is not secure and your information is vulnerable.

SSL Certificates are digital certificates that authenticate the identity of a website, also encrypting sensitive information using Secure Sockets Layer technology, which allows it to be sent over the internet safely. An online certificate establishes a websites credentials on the internet, especially an e-commerce business. How it works is when a user tries to send confidential information to a server, the web browser accesses the digital certificate and establishes a secure connection. For example, if you book a hotel room online and are required to give them your credit card number, the page the website re-directs you to so you can enter that information is a secure page.
