What does an SSL Certificate do?

TLS/SSL certificates do two things.

1) They provide a secure connection between a website by encrypting the data that is passed between users and the domain.
2) Certificates verify the ownership and identity of the business or person that owns the URL. Just as a certificate would in the physical world, a digital certificate is essentially certifying your right to represent your business or organization online.
