Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol required to create a secure communication bandwidth.
An SSL certificate ensures secure communication when transferring personal data and conducting financial transactions. That is, if an SSL certificate is installed on a site, the user of such site can enter payment card details, account number and other personal data. An HTTPS connection will be displayed in the address bar of such site, and an image of a green padlock will also appear.
