An SSL Certificate (Secure Socket Layer) is an essential tool to ensure the security of data transmission between a server and the devices accessing it (clients). Thanks to this protocol, information can be exchanged in an encrypted way, preventing third parties from intercepting or modifying it.
🔐 Benefits of Using SSL Certificates #
| Benefit | Description |
| Data Security | Protects information sent and received by visitors, such as passwords, forms, and payment data. |
| Increased Trust | Visitors can see the security icon (padlock) in the browser bar, boosting the site’s credibility. |
| 256-bit Strong Encryption | Ensures a high level of security with advanced encryption used in banking environments. |
How to Recognize an SSL-Secured Website #
You can easily identify whether a site uses a secure SSL connection by looking for these signs:
- URL with HTTPS: The web address starts with
https://instead ofhttp://. - Padlock icon in the browser 🔒: Appears in the address bar, indicating the connection is encrypted.
- Clicking the padlock ℹ️: Displays technical details about the certificate and the level of security.
⚠️ Important: Although a page may load with HTTPS, some elements (like images or scripts) may not be encrypted if they come from non-secure sources. Modern browsers clearly highlight this with different icons or visible warnings.
