The SSL (Secured Socket Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) certificates are the data files that bind a cryptographic key to the details of an organization. When SSL/TLS certificate is installed on a web server, it enables a secure connection between the web server and the browser that connects to all the networks which exit within it. After installing the certificate the website’s URL is prefixed with “https” instead of “http” and a padlock is shown on the address bar. If the website uses an Extended Validation (EV) certificate, then the browser may also show a green address bar with padlock.
