How SSL Certificates Work?

1.  
2. 1. A browser attempts to connect to a Website, a.k.a. Web server, secured with SSL. 
3. 2 .The browser requests that the Web server identify itself.
4. 3. The Web server sends the browser a copy of its SSL certificate.
5. 4. The browser checks to see whether or not it trusts the SSL certificate. If so, it sends a message to the Web server.
6. 5. The Web server sends back a digitally signed acknowledgement to start an SSL encrypted session.
7. 6. Encrypted data is shared between the browser and the Web server.
