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.
