SSL decryption

SSL decryption refers to the process of decoding data that is securely transmitted over the internet using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or its successor, TLS (Transport Layer Security). These protocols encrypt data to protect it from eavesdroppers. When data is sent from your device to a website, it is scrambled so that only the intended recipient can read it. Decryption allows the recipient to convert this scrambled data back into its original, understandable form. While SSL encrypts data for privacy, decryption is essential for processing and understanding that data upon receipt.
