The SSL/TLS Manager
The SSL/TLS Manager will allow you to generate SSL Certificates, CSR ( Certificate Signing Requests), and Private Keys. These are all parts of using SSL to secure your website.
SSL allows you to secure pages on your site so that information, such as logins, credit card numbers, etc., is encrypted instead of plain text. It is important to secure your site’s login areas and other pages where sensitive information could be sent over the Internet.
- SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer.
- TLS stands for Transport Layer Security.
SSL Certificate
An SSL Certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website’s identity and encrypts data transmitted between the website( server ) and the user’s browser( client). It ensures that the data exchanged remains secure and protected from unauthorized access.
An SSL certificate can secure one or more domains; to create an SSL host for a domain, you must have a certificate that secures that domain. Each SSL certificate has a matching key file that must also be present to install the certificate.
