What is an SSL and how does it works ?

  • SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser.
  • This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral. Certificado SSL

Working of SSL:

ssl
  • An end-user asks their browser to make a secure connection to a website
  • The browser obtains the IP address of the site from a DNS server then requests a secure connection to the website.
  • To initiate this secure connection, the browser requests that the server identifies itself by sending a copy of its SSL certificate to the browser.
  • The browser checks the certificate to ensure:
    • That it is signed by a trusted CA.
    • That it is valid – that it has not expired or been revoked.
    • That it confirms to required security standards on key lengths and other items.
    • That the domain listed on the certificate matches the domain that was requested by the user.
  • When the browser confirms that the website can be trusted, it creates a symmetric session key which it encrypts with the public key in the website’s certificate. The session key is then sent to the web server.
  • The web server uses its private key to decrypt the symmetric session key.
  • The server sends back an acknowledgement that is encrypted with the session key.
  • From now on, all data transmitted between the server and the browser is encrypted and secure.
