SSL Certificate
SSL is the acronym for Secure Sockets Layer. It is a combination of two protocols, the record protocol and handshake protocol which was designed to use applications that allows users to securely send and receive data over the internet.[1] The technology is integrated in web browsers e-mail and instant messaging applications and other programs with encryption key given by a Certification Authority in the form of a digital certificate. The digital key is authenticated by the handshake protocol in one or both end points during the SSL connection. The handshake protocol will then set-up a unique symmetric key to generate keys that will encrypt and decrypt data to maintain a secure communications and data transfers between computers during SSL session.[2]
