SSL certificates are needed to secure websites with critical information like Credit Card numbers and personal details. Secure web sites are starting with "https://...." instead of "http://...." in the address bar of your browser. Once you open a web site starting with https you can be assured that all traffic from your web browser to the server is encrypted and is nearly impossible to be intercepted by a third party. But how do you know that the other side - like your bank - is really what it pretends to be? Entering your password or credit card details into a false "phishing" web site can cost you a lot of money and trouble. By clicking on the "lock" symbol in your browser you can read the certificates content and the authority which has issued it. This guarantees the identity of the other party and warns you in case of any suspicious circumstances. Make sure from time to time that your system software has updated your computer with the latest root certificates (identifying the issuing certificate authorities) - this may not be part of a standard software update.
There are several type of SSL certificates available, each of them differs in
- the way the issuer of the SSL certificate has to proof his / her identity
- whether sub domains are included with the certificate or not
More information about SSL and SSL certificates can be found here at Wikipedia.
