A Guide To Understand SSL, TLS, SSL Certificate
And HTTPS

• If you are technically not very sound and do not
  understand most of the terms used, then this
  article is especially written for you. In this
  article we will discuss about SSL, TSL, SSL
  certificate and HTTPS in detail, and in a
  language which is easy to understand.

Understand SSL

• SSL is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer. It is
  a technology used to provide security. Now, the
  question that comes to our mind is provides
  security to whom? When we open any site, a link
  is created between a browser and a web server.
  This link has to be secured so that no hacker can
  misuse or modify the information or data. To
  achieve this kind of security, data has to be
  encrypted to make it impossible to read. With the
  help of this encrypted link, the data transferred
  between the browser and the server or, in some
  cases, one server to another remains safe and
  secured. In simple words, SSL is a technology
  which safeguards information, which is being
  transferred from one system to another from
  hackers or any other third party by creating an
  encrypted link between the two systems.

Understand TLS

• TLS stands for Transport Layer Security. It is
  similar to SSL but is more secure. In simple
  words, it is updated version of SSL. However, SSL
  is the most commonly used term, so if you bought
  latest SSL and want to go for TLS instead, you
  dont have to spend a single penny because most
  probably the latest SSL which you already have is
  actually a TLS certificate.

Understand SSL Certificate

• To get a secure connection or SSL connection
  between the browser and server, there is a need
  for SSL certificate. The information SSL
  Certificate carry is a domain name,
  company/organization name and complete address
  along with country name. Along with these
  details, additional information that the
  certificate contains is the date of expiration,
  which thoroughly depends upon the tenure you have
  opt for, and CA (Certification Authority)
  details. CA is the entity, which is responsible
  for issuing SSL Certificate.Whenever a browser
  makes connection with the server, it checks SSL
  certificate of that particular site and its
  expiration date. Along with this, authenticity of
  Certification Authority (CA) is also verified. If
  any of the above mentioned information fails, the
  browser will automatically display a warning
  about the internet security threat. The warning
  simply means that the site is not secure to use.

Understand HTTPS

• It stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
  Secure. We all are familiar with the term HTTP.
  HTTPS is a secure version of HTTP. When we talk
  about the word secure we mean encryption
  (converting data into a non-readable form). When
  we use internet, wide amount of data is shared.
  The data can contain personal details, bank
  account details, credit card details,
  confidential data or sensitive data. When we
  share this data online via login forms, online
  shopping, banking or by any other means, our
  preference is to transfer data in such a way that
  it do not fall into wrong hands, is misused or
  modified. In short, data needs to be transferred
  from browser to server in a secured way. This is
  why, HTTPS came into existence. HTTPS provides
  secure communication over internet.
