How do SSL Certificates Work?
Let’s have a brief idea of how SSL certificates work -
SSL Certificate Verification
When you visit a website with SSL, the browser checks the website's SSL certificate issued by a CA intending to verify the website's identity and ensure the data is not sent accidentally to an imposter site
Encryption Key Exchange
In the next step, the browser and the website establish a secure connection using a public-key/private-key encryption system. The website sends its public key to the browser, which then creates a secret key.
Secure Data Transmission
With the secure connection set up, any information you send to the website, like login credentials or credit card details, gets encrypted using the secret key. This encryption makes it unreadable to anyone who might intercept it, protecting your sensitive data.
Continuous Security
SSL certificates typically have expiration dates, so they need to be renewed periodically. This helps to ensure that the website's security measures stay up-to-date and continue to provide a safe environment for your online interactions.
