Global Certificates
- Ryan Seymour
Certificates refer to your SSL Certificates; at its core, an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate is like a digital passport for websites. It's a small data file that adds a layer of security to the communication between your web browser and a website's server.
Why is it Important?
Privacy: SSL ensures that the data you share with a website, like login credentials or credit card information, is private and secure.
Trust: When a website has an SSL certificate, your browser shows a little padlock icon, indicating a secure connection. This builds trust because you know your information is being transmitted safely.
Authentication: SSL certificates verify that you're connecting to the right website. Like you wouldn't want to send your mail to the wrong address accidentally, SSL certificates ensure your data goes to the intended destination.
How to Spot!
HTTPS: If a website's address starts with "https://" instead of "http://," it means there's an SSL certificate in use. The "s" stands for secure.
Padlock Icon: Look for a padlock symbol in your browser's address bar. This indicates a secure connection.
