What is SSL?

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer.

It is a protocol developed for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL uses a

cryptographic PKI that uses two keys to encrypt data − a public key known to everyone and a

private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message.

Many web sites use SSL Certificate to enable the protocol to obtain confidential user

information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection

start with https: instead of http:.
