What is an SSL Certificate?
An SSL certificate is a digital credential that establishes a secure connection between a web server and a browser. It ensures that data transmitted is encrypted and protected from unauthorised access. It encrypts data during transmission, providing a secure connection between a website and its visitors — ensuring privacy and protecting sensitive information like passwords and payment details.
SSL certificates enable secure communication, encrypting data and protecting it from potential eavesdropping or tampering.
