SSL Certificate Checker

In an SSL Certificate, an organization's details are bound to a cryptographic key. By using the padlock and the HTTPS protocol, it enables a secure connection from a web server to a browser. It is common to use SSL to secure credit card transactions, data transfers, and logins. Social media sites are also using SSL for security.

The SSL protocol makes use of RSA's asymmetric and symmetric encryption algorithms, where asymmetric encryption helps establish a secure client-server connection and symmetric encryption helps with exchanging secure information over an existing secured session, also known as an SSL handshake.

1. Authentication - It ensures you are connecting to the right server
2. Encryption - Ensures data transmission security (i.e., server to server, browser to the server, apps to the server, etc.).
3. Data integrity - Validates whether the data requested or submitted is the data delivered. The data between your clients and servers will not be modified during transit.
4. SEO ranking - Google has announced SSL certificates as a ranking factor, so if you have an SSL certificate, it could improve your search ranking.
