Types of SSL/TLS Certificates
SSL/TLS stands for Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security. It is a cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication over a computer network. SSL/TLS is used to protect data in transit between two applications, such as a web browser and a web server. SSL/TLS is important because it protects our sensitive data from being intercepted and stolen. When we visit a website that uses SSL/TLS, our personal information, such as our name, address, and credit card number, is encrypted and protected from eavesdroppers. SSL/TLS is also used to protect our email communications and online transactions.
Here are some of the benefits of using SSL/TLS:
Protects sensitive data: SSL/TLS encrypts data in transit, making it very difficult for eavesdroppers to intercept and read. This helps to protect our personal information, such as our name, address and credit card number, as well as our email communications and online transactions.
Provides authentication: SSL/TLS helps to ensure that the two applications are communicating with each other and not with a third party. This is important for preventing man-in-the-middle attacks where an attacker intercepts communication between two parties and impersonates one of them.
Improves user trust: SSL/TLS helps to improve user trust in websites and online services. When users see the lock icon in the browser address bar, they know that their connection is secure and that their data is protected.
SSL/TLS is an essential security measure for any website or online service that handles sensitive data. It helps to protect our data from being intercepted and stolen, and it provides authentication to ensure that we are communicating with the right parties.
