What is SSL?
SSL is a commonly-used protocol for managing the
security of message transmission on the Internet.
SSL or Digital certificates ensure that each
website that is used for gathering and
transmitting customer information is genuine and
guarantees the safety of this information.

How does SSL work?
SSL uses public key encryption technology for
authentication. Public key encryption requires
that a public key and a private key be generated
for an application.

Data encrypted with a public key can only be
decrypted using its corresponding private key and
vice versa.
The private key is stored in a key database file
that is password-protected. Only the owner of the
private key can access it to decrypt messages
that are encrypted using the corresponding public
key.

In order to ensure maximum security, a digital
certificate is issued by a third-party
Certificate Authority (CA) like VeriSign. A
digital certificate verifies the identity of an
entity through the following four fields

- Organizational Information
- This section of the certificate contains
information that uniquely identifies the owner of
the certificate, such as organizational name and
address. - Public key
- The receiver of the certificate uses a public key
to decipher encrypted text sent by the
certificate owner to verify its identity. A
public key has a corresponding private key that
encrypts the text.

- Certificate Authoritys Distinguished name
- The issuer of the certificate identifies itself
with this information. - Digital Signature
- The issuer of the certificate signs it with a
digital signature to verify its authenticity.
This signature is compared to the signature on
the corresponding CA certificate to verify that
the certificate originated from a trusted
certificate authority.

Why is a Digital Certificate important?
- A website is one of the best ways for any
business to find new customers. But this will
only happen if the website is well designed and
necessary security measures are in place.
Typically SSL is used to secure credit card
transactions, data transfer, logins and more
recently is becoming the norm when securing
browsing of social media sites.
