What is an SSL certificate, what is https?

SSL witness secures user and communication by encrypting and authenticating between web servers. In most browsers, depending on the certificate, a small padlock, a green address bar, a web address starting with https indicates the existence of a valid SSL, and in 2017, the Chrome browser from version 56 onwards will warn you if you are on a non-encrypted website. And Google may also rank unauthenticated websites lower in its search results.

A website or webshop protected by an SSL certificate is secure and confidential data, passwords and credit card numbers cannot be intercepted.
