What is an HTTPS certificate and why is an HTTPS certificate installed?

An HTTPS certificate, also known as an SSL certificate, is a type of digital certificate, similar to an electronic copy of a driver's license, passport, and business license. Because it is configured on the server, it is also known as an SSL server certificate. SSL certificates are issued by a trusted digital certificate authority CA after verifying the identity of the server, and have server authentication and data transmission encryption functions.

In the past, most companies only used HTTPS certificates when sensitive information needed to be transmitted, such as passwords, account numbers, transaction records, etc. filled in by users. As the Internet continues to grow, so do cyberattacks, and it is especially important to install an HTTPS certificate.

HTTPS certificates are digital certificates that comply with the SSL Secure Sockets Layer protocol, also known as SSL certificates, that use encrypted transmission communications to ensure the security of private data. Reasons to install an https certificate:

The first is the ** aspect. A**, want to enhance the user experience, the first thing is to protect the security of the user's privacy information, here the https certificate plays its important role, because one of its main functions is to encrypt the data transmission between the client and the server, to prevent the privacy information from being intercepted, snooped on or tampered with, to ensure the security and integrity of the data, so that users can access with confidence**.

And then there's the corporate side. The importance of HTTPS certificate to enterprises is mainly reflected in the fact that it can enhance the brand image of the enterprise, attract more customers, and even increase the transaction volume. Because when an enterprise deploys an HTTPS certificate issued by an authoritative CA organization, it can not only highlight the professionalism of the enterprise, but also enhance the trust of visitors to the company, which is very important for the healthy development of the enterprise.

There is also the personal aspect. Another function of the HTTPS certificate is that it can authenticate the server, so the importance of the HTTPS certificate for individuals is reflected in the fact that visitors can **query** the real identity of the server and prevent phishing by mistake, so as not to cause unnecessary economic losses.

An HTTPS certificate is a digital certificate, similar to an electronic copy of a driver's license, passport, and business license. This type of certificate is usually configured in the server and is therefore also known as a server certificate. As a result, many businesses will configure such security certificates for their **.

HTTPS certificate is a secure protocol for hypertext transfer. The protocol is an HTTP channel for security purposes. In other words, this HTTPS certificate is a secure version of HTTP, i.e., an SSL layer is added under HTTP.

HTTPS can protect the information security of ** to a certain extent. Some sites that have installed https certificates are authenticated, which ensures the authenticity of the **. The site that does not install this certificate is vulnerable to third-party attacks, and generally forces users to access other **, which causes a large loss of traffic, **Only by installing an https certificate can this kind of thing be effectively avoided.

All in all, an HTTPS certificate is a highly secure certificate. This certificate can protect the information security of ** to a certain extent and prevent the information from being stolen by criminals. Therefore, it is correct for the enterprise to configure this security certificate for **, but it must be configured reasonably.

SSL certificates can provide double security guarantees, so that users can surf the Internet with more confidence.

Explain why: Authenticate to reduce customer loss.

Enhance the company's brand image and customer trust.

If you have installed an SSL certificate, you can access it in the form of https:, and some advanced certificates such as EV SSL certificate, after installing the certificate, the address bar of the browser will turn green when the user accesses, and display a security lock sign behind the address bar and take turns to display the name of the organization and the authority of this certificate, clearly indicating that the identity of this certificate has been strictly verified by this certificate authority, and it is safe and reliable.

Workaround: The method of obtaining is to go to GWORG to obtain the SSL certificate.

https certificate i.eSSL certificatesThe application process is as follows:

The first step is to submit the CSR file

First, you need to generate a certificate signing request (CSR) file. Select the SSL certificate you want to apply for, submit the order, and submit the generated CSR file to the SSL CA issuing authority.

Step 2: Submit the order to the Certificate Service Authority (CA).

After receiving the SSL certificate order and the CSR file of the certificate request, the system automatically submits the order to the certificate service organization CA after preliminary verification.

Step 3: Send a verification email to the administrator's mailbox

The Certificate Service Authority receives the certificate application file in the CSR file system.

Automatically send a verification email to the domain administrator's mailbox.

Step 4: User confirmation verification email

Step 5: The certificate authority issues the certificate

Domain name certificates (DVSSLs) are generally issued within 1 24 hours after the user completes the confirmation email. Enterprise certificate OVSSL and enhanced certificate EVSSL require manual verification by the certificate service authority, which takes a long time to verify, and the certificate is issued after the verification is passed. The successfully issued certificate will be sent to the user's subscription email by email, and you can also log in to the user center to query the certificate, so that you can successfully use the SSL certificate.

Step 1: Submit the CSR to the ** vendor.

The CSR (Certificate Signing Request) file must be generated by the user himself, or you can use the CSR generation tool. Select the product you want to apply, submit a new order, and submit the prepared CSR file.

Step 2 Submit the information to CA

After receiving your order and CSR, if it is a domain name verification certificate (DV SSL certificate), the certificate can be issued in about 10 minutes after the domain name verification, and if it is a certificate of other types, it needs to be verified by a CA before it can be issued.

Step 3: Send a verification email to the administrator's mailbox

Once the CA receives the information, it will send a confirmation letter to the administrator's email address with a corresponding link to the past. Each order has a unique PIN for verification purposes.

Step 4: Email verification.

Click on the link in the confirmation letter to access the CA Agency Verification**, in Verification**, you can see the application materials for the order, and then click "I Approve" to complete the email verification.

Step 5 Issuance of certificates.

After the user completes the email verification, the CA will send the certificate to the applicant's own email address by email, and the user can install it directly after receiving the certificate. If there is a problem with the installation, we provide a free certificate installation service.

https certificate is the correct name, SSL certificate, apply for the following steps:

1. Determine the SSL certificate type.

2. Determine the domain name to be applied.

3. Submit an application for review.

Fourth, according to the requirements of certification.

5. Issuance completed.

2. Improve page loading speed: improve user experience and prevent customer churn.

4. Prevent web page tampering: Prevent data from being tampered with during transmission and protect user experience.

5. Address bar security lock: The "lock" icon at the head of the address bar makes your visitors feel at ease to browse the web and improve user trust.

6. Meet PCI standards: SSL is a key component of PCI compliance.

Hello! When the user accesses ** through the HTTP protocol, the browser and the server are transmitted in plaintext, which means that the password, account number, transaction records and other confidential information filled in by the user are in clear text, which may be leaked, stolen, tampered with and used by hackers at any time.

After installing the HTTPS certificate, use the https encryption protocol to access it, which can activate the relationship between the client browser and the server"SSL encrypted channel"(SSL protocol) to achieve high-strength two-way encrypted transmission to prevent the transmission data from being leaked or tampered with.

https encryption is all about locking a door, and this lock is AI. You can check whether the security of the user is reliable when he accesses. If there is a transmission of information, as long as it is transmitted, the information will be processed, on the password, some people want to see only password verification, can not be verified can not see, the encryption method used by this lock has asymmetry, so it is very troublesome in decryption, the general 128-bit password takes several years or even decades to crack.

Therefore, in the face of the big portal** with https encryption, this can indeed play a role in security protection for users and enterprises in the future development! Therefore, although there are many people who are reluctant to use https encryption, https encryption can indeed protect information leakage and protect personal privacy.

The main thing is to prevent information leakage and data hijacking, and the other is to prevent flood attacks.

The HTTPS certificate is an SSL certificate, which is a kind of digital certificate and plays a vital role in the security of the company.

1) SSL certificates can encrypt sensitive information so that it cannot be leaked.

The main reason for using SSL certificates is to ensure that sensitive information sent over the Internet can be encrypted and important data is not leaked. This is important because you are passing information between your computer and a server on the Internet, and if it is not encrypted with an SSL certificate, any information you pass can be obtained by third parties, including your credit card number, username and password, and other sensitive information. With SSL certificates, information is guaranteed to be unreadable to everyone, which protects information and data from hackers or ill-intentioned people.

2) SSL certificates provide authentication and prevent phishing**.

In addition to information encryption, SSL certificates provide authentication. This means that you can be sure that your information is being sent to the right server without worrying about someone stealing your information. Effectively prevent a third party from pretending to be yours and deceiving your users, obtaining users' personal information, and causing large or small losses.

The SSL certificate is issued by a trusted CA organization, and the information of the enterprise organization will be rigorously verified when applying for the certificate.

The SSL certificate can be installed in the address bar of the web browser, the green lock icon, the green address bar, and the EV SSL certificate can also display the name of the organization. To ensure that visitors know that their connection is protected and can be used with confidence. This means that visitors will trust you more when they see these prompts.

An HTTPS certificate, also known as an SSL certificate, is a type of digital certificate, similar to an electronic copy of a driver's license, passport, and business license. https certificates are used to:

1. Improve the ranking of enterprises

At present, mainstream search engines such as Google and other mainstream search engines have indicated that they will give priority to including ** starting with https, and give ** high weight to effectively improve the ranking of ** keywords. Installing an SSL certificate will enable you to upgrade from HTTP to HTTPS.

2. Encryption of private information

Encrypt the transmitted data, including the user's account password, ID card and other private information, to prevent it from being spied on, stolen and tampered with by hackers. At present, most of the ** will involve the user's private data transmission, and it is necessary to install an SSL certificate.

3. The browser is trusted

If the SSL certificate is not installed, the user will be prompted to be insecure when accessing the enterprise** through Google, Firefox and other browsers, which will inevitably affect the user's access experience, and the installation of the SSL certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority will become a trusted site for mainstream browsers such as Google and Firefox.

4. Prevent traffic hijacking

Ordinary HTTP is very susceptible to cyber attacks, especially traffic hijacking, which will force users and visitors to other websites, resulting in traffic loss. And by installing a trusted SSL certificate, yours can effectively avoid traffic hijacking.

5. Enhance corporate image

Installing an advanced SSL certificate will not only show a green lock and "https", but also display the name of the company, which will greatly increase the trust of users and enhance the image and credibility of the company.

An HTTPS certificate is an SSL certificate, a digital certificate of the SSL Secure Sockets Layer protocol that ensures that all information exchanged between the user's web browser and the web server is encrypted.

Procedure for applying for an HTTPS certificate (SSL certificate):

The first step is to generate and submit a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) document.

CSR files can generally be generated by ** (or generated on the server), and the system will generate two secret keys, public key CSR and key key, at the same time as the applicant makes it. Once you have selected the SSL certificate application, submit the order and submit the generated CSR file to the CA authority where the certificate is located.

In the second step, the CA agency conducts verification.

CAs can verify submitted SSL certificate applications in two ways:

The first is domain name authentication. A verification email will be automatically sent to the domain administrator's email address (this email address is the domain contact email address that was queried through the WHOIS information). After receiving the email, the administrator will confirm that it is correct and click "I confirm" to complete the email verification.

All SSL certificates must be authenticated.

The second is enterprise-related information certification. For enterprises that apply for an SSL certificate or an EV SSL certificate, in addition to domain name authentication, it is also necessary to manually verify the relevant materials and information of the enterprise to ensure the authenticity of the enterprise.

In the third step, the CA institution issues the certificate.

Due to the different models of SSL certificate applications, the materials and methods to be verified are somewhat different, so the issuance time is also different.

If you apply for a DV SSL certificate, it will be issued in about 10 minutes at the earliest. If you apply for an OV SSL certificate or an EV SSL certificate, it will be issued within 3-7 working days.
