TSL/SSL Certificates

TLS/SSL certificates are digital credentials that ensure secure communication between your web browser and a website. They verify the website's identity, like an online ID card, and encrypt data exchanged—such as passwords or credit card details—so that unauthorized parties cannot eavesdrop. When you visit a secure site, your browser checks the certificate to confirm it’s legitimate. If valid, a secure connection is established, indicated by "https" in the address bar. These certificates build trust, protect sensitive information, and help prevent cyberattacks during online interactions.
