SSL

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a technology that creates a secure, encrypted connection between your web browser and a website. This encryption ensures that any data transmitted—such as passwords, credit card numbers, or personal information—cannot be easily intercepted or read by others. When a website uses SSL, you'll see "https://" in the address bar and a padlock icon, indicating that the connection is protected. SSL helps ensure privacy and security during online interactions, making it safer to share sensitive information on the internet.
