Well, what is this SSL?
The Secure Socket Layer, SSL for short, is a protocol by which many services that communicate over the Internet can do so in a secure fashion. To solve these problems to a large degree, most Internet services support use of SSL as a mechanism for securing communications.
SSL in Action
How SSL works?
Let us view an example of how a company enables SSL feature. The company wants to protect communications to their server at company.com. The company creates a certificate with public and private key for company.com. The company contacts a trusted third party company like COMODO for enabling SSL. COMODO ensures the identity of the company and verifies its authority to use company.com. The company needs to do a lot of paper work and pay a big fee to Third Party Company for this process. After completion of verification process COMODO provides new public information with additional info for the company. This info is the certification from COMODO that this public key is for Company and company.com and that this is confirmed by COMODO. This certification info is encrypted using COMODO’s private key.
Now, whenever a Client makes a connection to company.com using its PC, the connection is made to a special “port” (address) on company.com which is specific for SSL communications alone. As the Client connects to company.com using its SSL-secured port, the company provides back its public key. Client receives the public key and verifies it. Client has the public key for COMODO stored in its PC. Thus, the client can decrypt the validation information, prove the validation is from COMODO and verify that the public key is licensed by COMODO. If Client relies on COMODO, then Client can trust that they are actually communicating with Company. If Client doesn’t trust COMODO, then the identity of who is running the computers to which Client is connecting is suspect.
