SSL Certificates
An SSL certificate is a digital certificate used to ensure the security of a website. This digital certificate is hosted on the web server, to enable a secure connection between the web server hosting the website and the user’s browser.
SSL certificates include information such as the domain name, public key, certificate authority (CA) that has issued the certificate, information about the person or organization to whom the certificate has been issued. It would also contain the issue & expiration date of the certificate.
Websites without an SSL certificate would have a URL “HTTP” and secure websites would have a URL starting with “HTTPS”. Some web browsers would also show a padlock symbol in front of the website address to show that the website is using an SSL certificate and is secure. The authorized SSL Certificates provided by ePillars help your organization establish secure data communication via TLS/SSL protocols.
