Introduction

SSL stands for secure sockets layer, it uses a cryptographic system to create a secure connection between client and web server. The SSL protocol is used by millions of online stores to serve three primary functions:

1. Secure private information between the web servers and the customers as they browse the site by using encryption.
2. Secure the administration console so sensitive passwords, credit card numbers, and customer data cannot be intercepted.
3. Provide a Secure Seal on the site that shows customers that the site protects their data and that this is a legitimate company.
