It alsoverifies the authenticity of the company or organization for which this certificate is issued.

What is authentication?

So now you know that SSL / TLS certificate allows you to encrypt the connection between the client and the web server, but what does this mean? How to create a secure connection? It all starts with an interaction known as SSL handshake, which in milliseconds helps to encrypt the connection and protects all communication between your site and its visitors.

How does the process of issuing an SSL certificate work?
