Tag: SSL

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol used to encrypt data transmitted between a web browser and a server. Although it has largely been replaced by its successor TLS (Transport Layer Security), the term “SSL” is still commonly used to refer to HTTPS encryption. SSL certificates verify a website’s identity and ensure that sensitive information, such as login credentials or payment details, is transmitted securely. For developers and site owners, enabling SSL is an essential step for protecting users and improving trust, as well as for meeting modern browser and SEO requirements.
