SSL, which stands for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that uses advanced encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted over the internet.
Its primary function is to establish a secure and encrypted communication channel between a user's web browser and the server of the website they wish to connect to.
Differences between Secured and Non-Secured Websites
Identifying a secured website is simple — look for a padlock icon displayed next to the URL in the address bar. The appearance may vary depending on the browser you are using:
By clicking on the padlock icon and selecting 'Connection is secure,' you can access more detailed information about the SSL certificate
On the other hand, websites without SSL certificates will be marked with a warning icon and labeled as NOT SECURED.
