How SSL certificate works?
SSL is the cryptographic protocol used to authenticate and encrypt communications over a network. Digital certificates, like the ones on websites, are the core of SSL. They initiate and maintain secure connections between servers and clients.Do you need an SSL certificate? An SSL certificate provides protection against phishing and eavesdropping attempts. It offers automatic authentication of a website. This means that any sensitive information is encrypted during transmission. Without SSL certification, users will not trust the site to handle private data with care.

Why Linko Focuses on SSL
When SSL certificates are not included on a web server, this means that connections are unsecured. Hence, hackers can intercept the messages between the client and server. Furthermore, the unencrypted messages will appear in plain text.
By installing an SSL certificate on your website, the client can only decrypt messages using a session key. A secure connection gives your company and site credibility.
To ensure that your site is the preferred choice among others, Linko makes it a point to give you and your customers peace of mind. That’s why Linko’s suite of services include SSL certification.
