Understanding SSL/TLS

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and its successor TLS (Transport Layer Security) are protocols that encrypt data transmitted between a web browser and a server. They ensure that sensitive information like passwords, credit card numbers, and personal data remain private and secure.

Modern websites use digital certificates to establish trust and enable encrypted connections. These certificates are issued by trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs) and must be renewed periodically to maintain security.
