This article will explain in detail what are the benefits of deploying SSL certificates. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

1. Definition of SSL certificate

A SSL certificate is a server digital certificate that complies with the SSL secure socket layer protocol. The SSL security protocol was originally designed and developed by Netscape Netscape Communication, the full name: secure Sockets layer Protocol (Secure Sockets Layer), which specifies a mechanism to provide data security layering between application protocols (such as HTTP, Telnet, FTP) and TCP/IP. It is a security protocol implemented on the Transport and Communication Protocol (TCP/IP), using public key technology. It provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for TCP/IP connections. Because this protocol solves the insecure problem of plaintext transmission on the Internet, it is quickly supported by the industry and has become an international standard.

2. What are the reasons for using SSL certificates?

Because of the convenience of the network, the network has become an indispensable part of people's life, and network consumption has become a trend. However, illegal methods point the finger at the network virtual space, and network security incidents such as phishing websites, number theft Trojans, information interception, data disclosure and so on emerge one after another. These network crimes warn us that while enjoying the convenience of the Internet, our private information is facing the risk of exposure on the Internet. In order to protect our private information, the SSL certificate was born, which provides an encrypted channel between the netizen's computer and the website being viewed, and prevents the information from being stolen or tampered with by a third party in the process of information transmission.

3. What is the function of ssl certificate

(1) encrypted transmission of the website

Deploy the SSL certificate and activate the HTTPS security protocol.

At present, most users visit the website through http plaintext protocol, which means that the password, account number, transaction records and other confidential information filled in by users are plaintext, which may be leaked, stolen, tampered with and used by hackers at any time.

After the website deploys the SSL certificate, activate the HTTPS security protocol, and the user accesses the website through the Https encryption protocol, which can activate the "SSL encryption channel" (SSL protocol) between the client browser and the website server to achieve high-intensity two-way encrypted transmission and prevent the transmission data from being leaked or tampered with.

(2) authenticate the true identity of the server

At present, phishing fraudulent websites are rampant on the Internet, how can users identify whether the website is a phishing website or a secure website? If the website deploys the globally trusted SSL certificate, the browser has a built-in security mechanism to check the status of the certificate in real time, and directly display the website authentication information to the user through the browser, so that the user can easily identify the true identity of the website and prevent phishing website counterfeiting.

4. Benefits of installing SSL certificates on websites

(1) to ensure the security of users' private information.

SSL certificate enables the website to achieve encrypted transmission. When users visit the website with SSL certificate, SSL certificate can prevent users from stealing and falsifying private information such as user name, password, transaction records, residence information and so on. For example, the installation of an SSL certificate on an e-commerce website can effectively ensure the security of the user name and password submitted when logging in to the e-commerce website to pay.

(2) help users identify phishing sites

SSL certificate can help users identify the real identity of the server, and can effectively distinguish phishing sites from official websites. The deployment of the website requires a globally trusted SSL certificate, and the certification authority must strictly audit the real identity related to the website before it can issue the SSL certificate to the website. The browser has a built-in security mechanism to check the status of the certificate in real time, and users can view the authentication information of the website through the display of the browser, so that users can easily identify the true identity of the website and prevent phishing websites from counterfeiting.

(3) it is beneficial to the optimization of website SEO.

Because the website with SSL certificate is more credible and secure than the website without SSL certificate, it can effectively protect the interests of users from being infringed. Therefore, search engines such as Google and Baidu are strongly advocating the deployment of SSL certificates to achieve https encrypted access from the point of view of ensuring user information security. SSL certificate websites are also given preferential treatment in terms of search, presentation and ranking.

(4) improve the brand image and credibility of the company.

Deploy SSL certificates on your website to make your site different from other sites. A website with a SSL certificate will display the https green security mini-lock in the browser address bar, and if it is a deployed EV SSL certificate, the green address bar and organization name will be displayed. Can tell users that they visit a secure, reliable site, can rest assured to operate and trade, effectively enhance the company's brand information and credibility.
