SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It provides a secured and encrypted layer of privacy to web applications.
SSL can provide for transport-layer encryption, so that an intermediary between the client and server, for example, Wireshark, can’t simply read cleartext HTTP right off the wire.
You can do this by checking your address bar for the “https” header. Web addresses that begin with “http://” denote they use HTTP. “https://” instead, that means the connection is secured via SSL.
Other than just “wrapping” HTTP in a protective shell, however, SSL does not extend or substantially alter the basic HTTP request-response mechanism.
It is important to note that SSL does nothing for the overall security of a Web application other than to make it more difficult to eavesdrop on the traffic between client and server.
This means that although SSL is enabled on a website, it doesn’t prevent an attacker from carrying out an attack.
You will have to apply other security measures to secure your website.
