What is SSL and what it means.

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. SSL creates an encrypted layer of data transmission between two systems. Whether it is server to server communication or server to browser communication, SSL allows encrypted data transmission and prevents its access to an outsider. For creating an SSL connection, a server needs an SSL certificate.

How SSL makes your website secure?

The encryption of the transmitted data makes sure that all information remains private. Hackers cannot interpret and steal the personal information such as Credit Card Numbers, etc. transmitted under the secure layer.

Every business owner neads to secure their website. It gives credibility and authority to any website and the potential buyers feel more confortable on a SSL/secure website.

 If a site is not SSL encrypted but tries to fake it, the user will see a warning that the ‘website might not be safe to visit.’

Difference between HTTP and HTTPS

Http stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. It allows World Wide Web users to transferring information like image, text, video, music, graphic and other files on web pages. Http is basically used to access html pages and also other resources can be accessible using HTTP.

HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. HTTPS is a protocol which uses an encrypted HTTP connection by transport-layer security. Sometimes, the clients may be exchanging private information with a server, which needs to be secured for preventing some hacking issue. For this reason, HTTPS was developed by Netscape Corporation to allow authorization and secured transactions.
