What is an SSL Certificate?

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer; as described in the name, it is a security layer protocol used to encrypt your website's sensitive data and protect it from spammers and hackers. When you install an SSL certificate on your website, your HTTP protocol will convert into the HTTPS protocol, which signals that your website is secure for online transactions and secures your sensitive data. You can buy an SSL certificate from a web hosting company like Web4Africa.
When your SSL certificate is issued by an SSL certificate authority, and you make your domain move from HTTP to HTTPS, your SSL certificate will display some public information like:

  • Certificate Information: the information contains the purpose(s) of the certificate.
  • Issued to: contains the certificate holder company or domain name
  • Issued by: contains the certificate issuing company, certification authority
  • Valid From: contains the issuing date to expiry date of your SSL certificate
  • Details: contains the SSL certificate version, serial number, Signature hash algorithm, Issuer Company,
    public-key parameters, etc.
  • Certification Path: displays the path of a certificate issued

How does an SSL Certificate work?

When a user request server to access your domain URL and if you have installed an SSL certificate properly, the browser asks the domain to identify the user. At that point, the process of SSL handshake will be performed by the website. In this process, the website will send a copy of the SSL certificate and the website’s public key, and then the browser will check the few details like the certificate is from a valid Certificate Authority (CA), not expired, not revoked, and valid for the particular website.
If the process is completed, then the browser will create, encrypt and send a symmetric key by using the website's public key, after that the website will decrypt the data and send an acknowledgement to start the encryption session.

Types of SSL Certificates

There are three types of SSL certificates you need to be familiar with. Domain-validated certificates are the most basic and are typically used for small websites. Organization-validated certificates provide more assurance to visitors and are typically used by larger businesses. Extended-validation certificates offer visitors the highest level of assurance and are typically used by eCommerce businesses.

  • Domain Validated (DV) SSLs are the most basic type of SSL certificate. They are typically used for small websites that do not handle sensitive information.
  • Organization Validated (OV) SSLs provide more assurance to visitors by requiring businesses to verify their identity.
  • Extended Validation (EV) SSLs offer visitors the highest level of assurance by verifying the business’s identity and ensuring that the website uses the latest security protocols.

When choosing an SSL certificate for your eCommerce business, it is important to consider the type of information you will be handling and the level of assurance you need to provide to your customers. DV certificates are typically sufficient for small businesses that do not handle sensitive information. OV certificates may be appropriate for larger businesses or businesses that handle sensitive information. EV certificates are typically only necessary for eCommerce businesses that handle a large amount of sensitive information.

No matter which type of SSL certificate you choose, it is important to ensure that your website uses the latest security protocols to protect your customers’ information. With the increasing number of cyberattacks, it is more important than ever to ensure that your website is as secure as possible. By choosing a reputable SSL provider like Web4Africa and keeping your security protocols up-to-date, you can help protect your business and your customers.
