Certificates are required to ensure the security of your website and to protect what is important for you and your customers’ data. Statistics show that using SSL certificates adds trust to your website and thereby increases order volumes by approximately 7–10%.

SSL is used by millions of websites to protect data on the internet. It guarantees a secure connection between the server and the user’s browser. Data is transmitted to HTTPS in encrypted form and is decrypted only with a special key.

The protocol requires the server to use an SSL certificate. For secure transactions, online stores, banks, payment systems, and other organizations that work with personal data use this technology, which prevents unauthorized access to information.

A secure communication channel is ensured by the following:

• Authentication: the certificate is linked to a specific domain; Encryption: data can only be decrypted using a special key.
• Verification: the certificate is linked to a specific domain.

An SSL certificate contains the following information:

• The domain name with an SSL certificate;
• The legal entity that owns the certificate;
• The physical location of the certificate owner (city, country);
• The validity period of the certificate;
• Details of the SSL certificate provider.

An SSL certificate confirms that a real company owns the domain and that the owner is legally entitled to use the private key.
