An SSL certificate, which stands for Secure Sockets Layer, plays an important role in securing the communication between your web browser and a website’s server. When you visit a website with an SSL certificate, you’ll notice that the website’s URL starts with “https://” instead of “http://”. The additional “s” indicates that the website is using a secure connection.
Here are the key benefits of an SSL certificate:
Data Encryption: An SSL certificate encrypts the data transmitted between your browser and the website’s server. This means that any sensitive information, such as login credentials, credit card details, or personal data, is transformed into a secure code during transmission. Encryption helps protect your information from unauthorized access by hackers or malicious actors who may try to intercept the data.
Data Integrity: SSL certificates also ensure data integrity. This means that the information you send or receive cannot be tampered with or altered during transit. The encryption algorithms used in SSL certificates create a unique digital signature for each data packet, allowing the receiving server to verify that the data hasn’t been modified.
User Trust and Confidence: When a website has an SSL certificate, your browser displays visual cues such as a padlock icon or a green address bar. These indicators reassure you that the website has taken measures to protect your data. Seeing these trust indicators helps establish confidence in the website’s legitimacy and encourages users to interact with the site without worrying about their information being compromised.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on this website, we also store the personal information you provide in your user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except you cannot change your username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
