How SSL Works Step by Step

Understand the SSL encryption process step-by-step, from initiating a secure connection to protecting online data transfer.

Initiate a Secure Connection +

After buying an SSL certificate, you receive a public and private key, so when any visitor visits your SSL-enabled website, their browser asks to establish a secure connection from the web server by verifying if it's reliable. The server responds by returning its public key to prove its authenticity.

Encrypting the Data +

The visitor's browser verifies, if the SSL is valid or expired, does it match the domain name, is it coming from a reliable CA. Once everything is verified, the web server and the browser do a TLS handshake and exchange public and private keys to ensure a secure connection. After verification, they make use of a shared secret key for rapid communication.

Secure Communication Starts +

After all of this sequence of complex processes between keys and algorithms, an SSL certificate builds a strong and secure shield around your online communications. Thus, all the online connection between the server and the browser is fully secured by encryption.

    Using these files, you can then install the SSL certificate on your web hosting service provider’s server. If you further need help, our priority support team is available 24/7/365 to assist you along the way.
