SSL or Secure Sockets Layer has landed here at ado16.info.
With the adoption of SSL there are three main security principles we will now all benefit from;
- Encryption: protect data transmissions (e.g. browser to server, server to server, application to server, etc.)
- Authentication: ensure the server you’re connected to is actually the correct server.
- Data integrity: ensure that the data that is requested or submitted is what is actually delivered.
