This article will explain in detail what the main functions of website authentication are. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it for you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

What is website authentication may not have been heard of, but to put it another way, many people will know about HTTPS website. In fact, the HTTPS website is a website that has been authenticated.

To build a HTTPS website, we need to apply for a SSL certificate for the website and deploy the SSL certificate to the website server in order to provide HTTPS website services. Due to the use of encrypted data transmission mode, the HTTPS website has better security protection than the HTTP protocol which is transmitted in clear text.

When we apply for the SSL certificate from the CA institution, the CA institution needs to verify our identity, that is, the authentication of the website. When the audit is passed, the CA institution will issue the SSL certificate for us.

So why do you want to authenticate the website? We can take the current more website hijacking as an example.

If the user enters a URL in the browser and wants to visit the page of the A website. But the site has been hijacked, and it is likely that what will eventually be displayed in front of the computer is the page of site B. But for visitors, they have no idea that they are visiting an illegal website. This is very dangerous for users.

But if A website has done website authentication, set up HTTPS website that is completely different. The user visits the same website address, but because the website has been authenticated and the SSL certificate is deployed, the browser will judge whether the address of the website is the same as that in the SSL certificate, and the browser will prompt for an error if it is found to be inconsistent. In addition, because when applying for the SSL certificate, the CA institution will verify the user's enterprise information, and the final enterprise information will be reflected in the SSL certificate. When users visit the website, they can distinguish the enterprise of the current website from the SSL certificate, and can better judge the phishing website.

HTTPS has many benefits, so how should we authenticate the website? Generally speaking, CA institutions will not receive applications from users directly. We can find many SSL certificate application agencies on the Internet and apply for SSL certificates from these agencies. These agencies will generally assist you in submitting your application and will also assist you in certificate deployment after the certificate has been issued.

On the main functions of website authentication is shared here, I hope that the above content can be of some help to you, can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
