How Does the SSL Certificate Create a Secure Connection?

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate creates a secure connection between a client (such as a web browser) and a server (such as a website) by encrypting the data that is transferred between them. This encryption process involves two keys: a public key and a private key.

The SSL certificate contains the server's public key, which is used to encrypt the data being sent from the client to the server. The client's web browser then uses the public key to decrypt the data that is sent back from the server.

The private key is kept securely on the server and is used to decrypt the data that is sent from the client. This ensures that only the server can read the data, and that it cannot be intercepted or read by anyone else.

In addition to encrypting the data, an SSL certificate also provides authentication. This means that the client can be sure that they are communicating with the correct server, and not a fraudulent or impersonated one. The SSL certificate does this by verifying that the server's identity matches the one listed on the certificate, and that the certificate was issued by a trusted third-party authority.
