What is an SSL Certificate?
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer; it is the standard technology for keeping an internet connection secure and safeguarding sensitive data between two systems. The two systems can be servers to clients (for example, a shopping website and browser) or server to server (for example, an application with personally identifiable information or payroll information).
An?SSL certificate?is a certificate signed by a trusted CA. The CA uses their private key to sign the certificate, including who the certificate is issued to, the validation period, and the public key. Since the public key is attached to the certificate, it proves the legitimacy of the public key so that it can be used for further secure communication between the web server and the client.
When SSL version 3.0 was updated, instead of being called SSLv4.0, it was renamed TLSv1.0.
