What is an SSL Сertificate?
SSL certificate acts as a digital key to encrypt information between the user and the website via the HTTPS protocol, ensuring the confidentiality of transmitted data.
Personal details, such as passwords and card numbers, provided on sites with such a certificate, are protected from third-party access. Web browsers identify these sites as secure and mark them in the address bar with a special symbol of a lock in green or black color.
Why do you need to protect website?
Information sent via the unsecured HTTP protocol, such as login credentials or credit card details, is susceptible to interception. Utilizing HTTPS safeguards personal data from being intercepted or stolen.
For how long is an SSL certificate issued?
SSL certificate is issued for 1 or 2 years, after which it must be reissued.
How do I know if my site is protected?
Sites protected by SSL certificates operate using the HTTPS protocol, and a lock is shown next to the name of such sites in the address bar.
