What Is an SSL Certificate?
An SSL certificate is a digital ID for your website that enables HTTPS and encrypts data between your visitors’ browsers and your server.
When SSL is active, your URL shows https:// and a padlock icon, signaling that information such as passwords, contact forms, and payment details is protected in transit.

How Do SSL Certificates Work?
When someone visits your site over HTTPS, the browser and your server perform a secure “handshake”:
- The browser connects to your site and requests a secure page.
- Your server sends its SSL certificate and public key.
- The browser checks that the certificate is valid and issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).
- The browser generates a one-time symmetric key, encrypts it with your public key, and sends it to your server.
- Your server decrypts that key with its private key, and from this point on, all data between browser and server is encrypted with that shared key.
To your visitors, this process is invisible—they just see the padlock and feel safe to interact with your site.

SSL Trust Chain – Why Browsers Trust Your Certificate
Browsers do not trust every certificate they see; they trust a chain that leads back to a known, pre-installed Root Certificate Authority.
- At the top is the Root CA certificate, baked into your browser or OS.
- Below that are one or more Intermediate CA certificates, issued by the root.
- Finally, your website’s SSL/TLS certificate is signed by one of these intermediate CAs, forming a complete, verifiable trust chain.
If anything is wrong (expired, untrusted CA, wrong domain), visitors will see security warnings instead.
