- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is designed to provice secure passage of information from one computer to another to a destination server via encryption. This allows sensitive information to be sent across the Internet safely into the hands of its intended recipient.
- Basically, acquiring an SSL Certificate allows users to access your site via the HTTPS protocol, rather than the unsafe and unprotected HTTP protocol.
- Browsers are now marking sites as unsafe if they cannot be accesssed via the HTTPS protocol, and will advise users to navigate away from the site before serving the site’s content.
