To determine if your computer is in a secure environment verify that your URL address begins with “https://” rather than “http://” (http means Hyper Text Transport Protocol and https means HTTP with SSL). SSL Certificates secure all of your data as it is passed from your browser to the website’s server. To get an SSL Certificate, the company must go through a validation process. 13.
