Work of SSL

 How SSL protects Website?

SSL protects your website by encrypting data transmitted between the user’s browser and  website, ensuring that sensitive information like passwords and credit card details are scrambled and unreadable during transit. Anyone who tries to intercept this data will see a garbled mix of characters that is nearly impossible to decrypt.

SSL initiates a authentication process called a handshake between two communicating devices to ensure that both devices are really who they claim to be.

Also, SSL uses public and private key to ensure secure connection (https) by encrypting data with public key, which can only be decrypted by private key held by the server, ensuring secure connection.
