SSL/TLS
SSL/TLS is a security technology that creates an encrypted connection between your web browser and a website, protecting any information you send or receive from being intercepted.
How it works
It works by using digital certificates to verify a website's identity and then establishing a secure 'tunnel' for data. This is fundamental for any online activity involving sensitive data, like logging in or making payments, and is indicated by 'https://' and a padlock icon in your browser's address bar.
Examples
- 1.Securing your credit card information during an online purchase
- 2.Protecting your login password when accessing your email or bank account
- 3.Ensuring the privacy of messages sent through a secure messaging app
