Understanding Secure Sockets Layer and How It Works"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

SSL <\/strong>stands for Secure Sockets Layer<\/strong>. It is a standard technology for establishing a secure and encrypted link between a web server and a web browser. SSL ensures that the data transmitted between the web server and the browser remains private and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SSL operates by using a cryptographic system<\/strong> that uses two keys to encrypt data: a public key and a private key. The public <\/strong>key is used to encrypt <\/strong>information, and the private <\/strong>key is used to decrypt <\/strong>it. Implementing SSL is essential to boost site security and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a user connects to a website secured with SSL, the server provides its public key, and the browser uses it to encrypt data before sending it to the server. Only the server, which holds the corresponding private key, can decrypt and access the transmitted information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
