SECURITY

A secure certificate is a type of digital certificate that is used to establish a secure connection between a website and a customer’s web browser. It encrypts the data sent between the two parties, making it unreadable to anyone who intercepts it. This helps protect the customer’s information from being stolen or misused. The certificate also authenticates the website, verifying that the website is legitimate and not a fake or malicious site.
