How SSL works


When an Internet user visits a secure web site, an SSL certificate provides identification information about the web server and establishes an encrypted connection. This process happens in a fraction of a second.

 

What Happens between the Web Browser and Server

  1. A browser attempts to connect to a web site secured with SSL. The browser requests that the web server identify itself.
  2. The server sends the browser a copy of its SSL certificate.
  3. The browser checks whether it trusts the SSL certificate. If so, it sends a message to the server.
  4. The server sends back a digitally signed acknowledgement to start an SSL encrypted session.
  5. Encrypted data is shared between the browser and the server.
