What is SSL?
SSL, short for secure sockets layer, uses a cryptographic system of public and private keys to secure communications and provide authentication over the Internet. SSL encrypts the link between your website and a visitor’s browser so data passed between them stays private and secure. This prevents hackers from accessing private information such as credit card numbers, names and addresses.
What is an SSL certificate?
SSL certificates are created for a particular server and domain, and are issued by a trusted, third-party Certificate Authority (CA) – similar to a passport. As the Certification Authority, GeoTrust authenticates the identity of the purchaser and verifies the business that owns the domain.
