Description: SSL Certificates are required for HTTPS connections, in order to keep your data transactions encrypted.
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is used to encrypt data as it is sent down a connection. This protects data from being intercepted for malicious use via what is referred to as a 'man in the middle' attack. With SSL, if any information is intercepted it will be useless without the relevant information needed to decrypt it. Therefore when using SSL, you have a guarantee that the data you send and receive is always safe and secure.
SSL also deals with authenticating both client and server by using certificates to validate their identity. This is especially important for preventing a 'masquerade' attack. This is where a third party can actually pretend to be your server in order to gain sensitive material or send harmful viruses to your users. SSL certificates ensure that the server you are connecting to is the server you intended to connect to.
