Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a security protocol that encrypts data transmitted between a user's web browser and a website's server. SSL ensures secure, encrypted communication and is commonly used to protect sensitive information such as login credentials, credit card details, and personal data.
Websites that use SSL display "https://" in the URL and often feature a padlock icon in the browser's address bar. SSL certificates are essential for safeguarding online transactions and user privacy.
