How are you?Hope so everyone would be safe and sound just like me as I am also safe Alhamdulillah...

If I talk about my today's topic then i am going to share about security socket layer so let me go into depth of this topic!

If I talk about secure socket layer then this is cryptographic protocol which is useful in providing a good level of communication regarding security in between web browser and web server.It is used for giving surety that all data is exchanging between browser and server which remains confidential and tamper proof.

Security socket layer is one of most important component of online security and it is most commonly used in field of e commerce, online banking as well as other apps which need secure transmission of data.

How security socket layer works?

If I talk about security socket layer then it work through establishment of encrypted connection in web browser and web server.I am going to explain here whole process step by step!

Handshake

If I talk about handshake then here browser and server works by establishing a connection and then browser requests safest connection.

Certificate exchange

Certificate exchange is a process of sending digital certificate to server that consists of public key and identification of data to browser.

Authentication

If I talk about authentication then browser then it's all about verification of identification of server and for checking validation of certificate.

Key exchange

If I talk about key exchange then browser and server is important for negotiating shared secret key that is useful for encryption of all information which is exchanged between them.

Encryption

Last but not least if I talk about encryption then here all data transmits between browser and server which is encrypted by usage of shared secret key.

Benefits of security socket layer

If I talk about benefits of security socket layer then these are below;

• If I talk about encryption then it is used for protecting sensitive information by intercepting and eavesdropping.
• If I talk about authentication then this is used for verification of identification of web server and for giving surety that clients are communicating with that intended server.
• If I talk about trust then this is used for establishment of trust among clients and web server for giving surety that sensitive data is transmitted in a secure way.

All the above mentioned are security socket layer benefits!

Implementation of security socket layer

If I talk about implementation of security socket layer then following points should be kept in mind!

• If I talk about first implementation step then it's all about to buy an security socket layer certificate from trusted authority which provides certificate.
• If I talk about second step of implementation then this is all about configuration of web server for using security socket layer certificate and enabling HTTPS.
• If I talk about third step of implementation then this is all about updating of website content for using HTTPS instead of HTTP.

Common errors of security socket layer

• If talk about expiration of security socket layer certificate then it causes website for displaying security warning.
• If there is mismatching of certificate of security socket layer then it also causes website for displaying security warning.
• If I talk about mixed content then website consists of HTTP and HTTPS content which cause browser for displaying security warning.

If I conclude my discussion then I have discussed about security socket layer ,it's benefits,process, errors and many other associated things!I invite everyone to must share your feedback at my post!
