share

SMART

SSL certificate

Secure Socket Layer certificate, part of the SSL encryption method. SSL (also known as Trans- port Layer Security) is a type of encryption used to protect data being sent over a network or the Internet. SSL uses a system of keys, like secret passwords, to send and receive files securely.
