Why SSL is important?
Data encryption- Originally, data on the internet could be read by anyone if they intercepted the message. There was no privacy. So SSL was created to remove this problem and protect user’s privacy. By encrypting any data which goes between user and website, SSL ensures that whoever intercepts the data will see a garbled mix of characters.
Security- SSL also stops certain types of cyber attacks. It authenticates web servers, which is important because attackers often try to set up fake websites to trick users and steal data.
Protects Data- It also prevents attackers from tampering with data in transit, like a tamper-proof seal on a container.
User Trust- Websites with SSL security build trust with users, as they know their data is being transmitted securely.
SEO- SSL is a factor in SEO as search engines like google chrome prefer websites with SSL certificates, potentially improving search engines.
Website Authentication- SSL verifies the identity of website. It ensures that both devices are really who they claim to be.
Compliance- Many industries and regulation require websites to use SSL for security and data protection.
Browser Compatibility- Modern browsers display a security warning or error if website doesn’t have SSL certificate, potentially preventing users from visiting the website.
