What is SSL?
In simple language SSL is Secure Sockets Layer. In simple SSL certificates create an encrypted connection and establish trust. SSL certificates have a pair of key: 1. Public and 2. Private key. These keys work together to establish an encrypted connection between the server side and the client side. The most important part of an SSL certificate is that it is digitally signed by a trusted CA (Certificate authority).
The list of some of the largest CA in the market:
- Comodo – 42.6%
- Symantec (which bought VeriSign’s SSL operations and owns 3. Thawte, GeoTrust, and Rapid SSL) – 15.3%
- Go Daddy – 7.7%
- GlobalSign – 4.9%
- Digicert – 2.3%
- StartCom – 0.9%
- Entrust – 0.4%
- Certum – 0.5%
