Understanding SSL/TLS Certificates

What is SSL/TLS?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols that provide secure communication over the internet. They encrypt data transmitted between your browser and a web server.

Encrypts sensitive data (passwords, credit cards)
Verifies website identity and authenticity
Protects against man-in-the-middle attacks

Certificate Types

Domain Validated (DV)
Basic validation - verifies domain ownership only
Organization Validated (OV)
Verifies organization identity and domain ownership
Extended Validation (EV) Highest
Rigorous verification - shows company name in browser

Certificate Authorities

Certificate Authorities (CAs) are trusted organizations that issue SSL certificates after verifying domain/organization identity.

Popular CAs: Let's Encrypt (Free), DigiCert, GlobalSign, Sectigo, GoDaddy
Why it matters: Browsers only trust certificates from recognized CAs

Best Practices

Renew Early: Renew certificates 30 days before expiration to avoid downtime
Use Strong Keys: Minimum 2048-bit RSA keys (4096-bit recommended)
Enable HSTS: HTTP Strict Transport Security forces HTTPS connections
Monitor Expiry: Set up alerts to notify you before certificates expire
  1. 1 Enter Domain: Input the full domain name or URL of the website (e.g., `www.example.com`).
  2. 2 Run Scan: Click "Check SSL Status" to initiate the certificate inspection.
  3. 3 View Report: Instantly view the certificate's validity, expiration date, issuing authority, and chain integrity. Check your SSL certificate now!
