SSL Certificates and How They Work
Encrypts Data

Builds Trust
Displays security indicators like HTTPS and a padlock icon, assuring users that the website is safe and authentic.
Improves SEO & Compliance
Helps websites rank higher on search engines and meets security standards required by regulations and payment systems.
Establishing a Secure Connection
When you obtain an SSL certificate, your website is assigned a unique public and private key pair. When visitors access your site, their browsers request the SSL certificate and public key to authenticate the site’s legitimacy and establish trust.
Robust Data Encryption
Once verified, the visitor’s browser creates two symmetric encryption keys, sending one securely to your web server encrypted with the public key. The server uses its private key to decrypt this, enabling both browser and server to create a fully encrypted, secure communication channel for safe data transfer.
Trusted Visual Security Indicators
Websites protected by SSL display clear trust signals like the HTTPS prefix and padlock icon in the browser’s address bar. Depending on the SSL certificate type, you can also showcase a site seal, boosting user confidence and reinforcing your site’s credibility.
SSL Certificates and How They Work
What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that encrypts data transmitted between a website and its visitors, ensuring secure and private communication.
How does an SSL certificate work?
It uses a pair of cryptographic keys (public and private) to establish a secure connection between the visitor’s browser and the web server, encrypting data in transit.
Why is SSL important for websites?
SSL protects sensitive information such as login credentials, payment details, and personal data from being intercepted by hackers.
What does the HTTPS in a website URL mean?
HTTPS indicates that the website uses SSL encryption, with data securely transmitted over a protected connection.
Are free SSL certificates as secure as paid ones?
Yes, free SSL certificates provide the same level of encryption and security as paid certificates, though paid versions may offer additional features or warranties.
What are the visual indicators of an active SSL certificate?
Users will see a padlock icon in the browser’s address bar and the HTTPS prefix, signaling that the site is secure.
What types of SSL certificates are available?
Common types include Domain Validated (DV), Organization Validated (OV), and Extended Validation (EV) certificates, each offering different levels of validation and trust.
How long does it take to get an SSL certificate?
Domain Validated certificates can be issued within minutes, while OV and EV certificates may take a few days due to more thorough verification.
What happens if an SSL certificate expires?
Visitors will receive a security warning, and data will no longer be securely encrypted, risking data interception and loss of trust.
Can I install an SSL certificate myself?
Yes, many hosting providers offer easy installation options, but you can also manually install SSL certificates through your server’s control panel or with expert help.
