SSL - Secure Sockets Layer
SSL is an encryption-based Internet security protocol.SSL works by establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser, ensuring that all data passed between the two remain private.
When you visit a website that’s encrypted with SSL, your browser will form a connection with the web server, look at the SSL certificate, and bind together your browser and the server. This binding connection is secure so that no one besides you and the website can see or access what you type
