How an SSL Certificate Works
Establishing a Connection
Websites will get a public and private key after successfully acquiring or purchasing SSL certificates. When users access the website, their browser will request the public key to verify its identity.
Data Encryption
If it’s successfully verified, the browser will generate two symmetric keys and send one of them, encrypted by the public key, to the web server. Once the server receives it, it will use its private key to decrypt it. The browser and server can now form an encrypted connection to safely transfer information.
Visual Indicators
A website with a successful SSL installation will have multiple indicators on the address bar – a padlock icon and an HTTPS prefix on the website’s URL. Depending on the type of certificate, site owners can also display a site seal to increase trustworthiness.
