SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) management is critical for securing data transmission on your website. Here's a concise overview:

Key Concepts 📚

  • SSL Certificate: A digital certificate that authenticates the identity of a website and enables encrypted connections.
  • Certificate Authorities (CAs): Trusted third-party entities that issue SSL certificates.
  • Renewal & Expiry: Certificates typically expire after 1-2 years; automatic renewal is recommended.

Best Practices 🔐

  1. Use strong encryption protocols (e.g., TLS 1.3).
  2. Regularly monitor certificate validity with tools like SSL Checker.
  3. Implement HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 for better performance and security.

Common Tasks 📋

  • Installing a certificate on your server
  • Configuring renewal via tools like Let's Encrypt
  • Troubleshooting connection errors (e.g., SSL handshake failed)
