What is SSL certificate?

Secure Socket Layer is a protocol developed by Netscape that has become the most important choice for securing data transmission across the internet. It helps to leverage the trust level of the customers by ensuring that the online transactions will remain confidential. SSL certificates are provided by Certification Authorities (CA) who provides additional products and services to demonstrate that they are trustworthy.

Why you need SSL certificate?

Online marketing has become one of the greatest opportunities for enterprises globally. The growth in business has also attracted numerous fraudsters and cyber criminals who try to gather personal information from unsuspecting visitors. People need to be more confident before proceeding with any transactions. It is here that SSL certificates ensure that the transactions are secure, confidential and integral and remove the risk related with trading over the Internet.

How does SSL Certificate work?

  • Client requests for secure resource.
  • Web-server presents its certificate.
  • Client verifies the certificate.
  • Generates a Session Key (40, 56 or 128bit).
  • Extracts the public key from the web server certificate and encrypts the session key.
  • Client then sends encrypted key back to the Web-server.
  • Web- server decrypts the session key and both now have a common key for that session.
  • Both the web-site and the client can now communicate securely.
  • When the browser closes the window or server drops the connection, the session is terminated.
  • Next time when the browser comes back to the same page a new session key is generated.
