The HTTPS SSL certificate is a crucial component for securing your API communication. It ensures that data transmitted between your server and clients is encrypted and protected from eavesdropping and tampering.
Certificate Types:
- Domain Validated (DV): The simplest and fastest to obtain. It verifies that you control the domain.
- Organization Validated (OV): Provides additional verification of the organization's identity.
- Extended Validation (EV): The most secure, requiring thorough verification of the organization.
Renewal Process:
- Certificates typically expire after one year. Renewal is essential to maintain security.
Best Practices:
- Use HTTPS for all API endpoints.
- Regularly update your certificates.
- Implement strong encryption algorithms.
