SSL Certificates: 3 Main Types of SSLs

An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer.

The primary motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the accessed website and protecting the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data while in transit. For example, it protects against man-in-the-middle attacks, and the bidirectional encryption of communications between a client and server protects the communications against eavesdropping and tampering.

The most prominent way you notice SSL Certificates is HTTPS in the web browser address bar when surfing a secured website. An example of this is https://web4africa.ng
