What is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for enabling data
encryption on the Internet and for helping web site users confirm
the owner of the web site. SSL is most commonly used to protect
communications between web browsers and servers. However, it is
increasingly used for server to server communications and for
web-based applications.
How do web site visitors know if a web site is using
SSL?
When a browser connects to a secure site it retrieves the site's
SSL certificate and checks that it has not expired, that it has
been issued by a Certificate Authority the browser trusts and that
it is being used by the web site for which it has been issued. If
it fails on any one of these checks the browser will display a
warning to the end user. If it succeeds, several security
indicators are built into modern browsers to indicate that SSL is
enabled.
The beginning of the URL or web address changes
from http:// to https:// a padlock on the browser
window changes from open to closed. The address bar will turn green
and display the name of the web site owner when connecting to a web
site protected by an Extended Validation SSL certificate. In
addition, a trust mark such as the RapidSSL site seal may be added
to web pages on a secure site.
