How does an SSL certificate provide website security?

Upon seeking to establish secure communications with your Web-based business (for example, when a consumer initiates an online purchase) the consumer's browser seeks to validate your Web site's authenticity by requesting an SSL certificate that verifies the identity of the Web site owner. Once that SSL certificate is recognized, a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is established for website security, encrypting data transmitted between you and the consumer including such information as credit-card and bank-account numbers.

Secure Sockets Layer, a computing protocol that ensures the security of data sent via the Internet by using encryption.

SSL Certificates are small data files that digitally bind a cryptographic key to an organization’s details. When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a browser. Typically, SSL is used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer and logins

SSL Certificates helps to generate a SSL handshake between the client and the server, client is looking to access. In SSL handshake both client and server shares a key through which the cypher suite is also shared. This Cypher Suite helps to decide the encryption lvl of data which are being shared. 

But if there is SSL Certificates, then SSL handshake communication cannot take place. this will lead to open connection ie no encryption of data while communication. that means a loss of data is easy.

Ensuring website security and protecting the privacy of E-Commerce customers doing business with you online is essential to establishing customer confidence and trust. That confidence and trust is established through securing communication between your customer's Web browser and your site, generally by way of a digital SSl Certificate. You can install an SSL Certificate yourself or one can be provided to you by your Web hosting provider or a third-party transaction-processing company.

SSL certificates protect all sensitive and private data transferring via websites and online systems

Why is the SSL certificate necessary for your site? A safety certificate is necessary to protect your website, even if you do not deal with sensitive information such as credit cards.
