Secure Sockets Layer

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a technology that ensures safe communication between your web browser and a website. It encrypts the data exchanged, such as passwords or credit card details, making it difficult for hackers to intercept or read the information. When a website uses SSL, you’ll notice a padlock icon in the address bar, and the web address will start with "https://." This helps ensure that your data remains private and secure during online transactions, giving you confidence that your information is protected while browsing or shopping online.
