SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is a security standard/protocol and was developed by Netscape in 1994. Its use is easy to recognise thanks to a small padlock (icon) that appears in the browser.
SSL certificates, or security certificates, are cryptographic protocols designed to secure the exchange of information over the internet – for example, bank card details, passwords and, in general, any information that is meant to remain private. SSL certificates can also be used to secure correspondence (e-mail).
Web addresses secured by SSL begin with https: rather than http:; for this reason, some users use the term "HTTPS" for SSL.
How does it work?
The SSL certificate encrypts information so that it can only be decrypted by the server it is addressed to. This guarantees that information sent to a website will not be stolen or altered.
The advantages of SSL technology
SSL offers a higher degree of confidentiality and security than an unencrypted web connection. This technology reduces the risk of information being intercepted and misused by a third party. Website visitors are more confident about sharing personal information when they know they are using an SSL connection.
The greatest advantage is that it protects passwords from interception when they are typed into an SSL-protected login page.
Another important advantage, according to Google, is that websites with an SSL certificate installed rank better in the Google search engine.
