The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a security technology that is used to encrypt data. A network, such as online transactions, provides privacy, data integrity, and authentication.

The steps for setting up SSL encryption are as follows:

1. A browser establishes a connection with an SSL-protected web server.
2. In return for its own private key, the browser asks for the server’s public key.
3. If it is, the browser requests that an encrypted connection be established with the web server.
4. The acknowledgment is sent by the web server to begin an SSL encrypted connection.
5. SSL connection between the browser and the web server commences.
