A web browser and a server create an encrypted link using Secure Sockets Layer or SSL.</p> <p>In short: SSL ensures the data exchanged between two systems is kept private. When you see a padlock icon next to the URL in the address bar, SSL protects the connection between you and the website you are visiting.</p>
