SSL is an encryption protocol. SSL enables the encryption of information transferred between the server and the client’s computer, which means that even if information is intercepted it can neither be read nor modified.

SSL is used for sensitive information requiring strong security measures. For example, it is used for online shops, internet banking, secure e-mail systems, internet faxes and telephony.

You can by a SSL certificate from a certificate provider or generate one yourself. Each SSL certificate consists of two keys – a public key and a private key. The public key is used to encrypt information, the private key is used to decipher it. The issuers of paid certificates guarantee the authenticity of the public key.

Self-generated certificates are usually used for testing or when the users of an online resource fully trust the owner of the resource. Whenever a user opens a website secured by a self-generated SSL certificate a warning is displayed. You can generate an SSL certificate here.
