The full form of ssl is secure socket layers. This tells the safety of the internet. This conveys some messages with your site before you enter into it. SSL will then send some short messages to your browser which makes the browser easy to understand about the site. All the conversations between your browser and the site are encrypted. So, any third party can not get any information between you and the site. This is the reason why the conversations between the site and the servers takes place slowly. We are getting the safety due to the encryption. We can find whether the site is secure or not by seeing the https:// . If the site is secure then it displays the following https:// otherwise like the normal site http://
I have explained about these https in the previous posts.

Important Knowledge of https://
The main difference between http:// and https:// is, all about security!
HTTP stands for HyperText Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it's a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients.
The important thing is the letter S which makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS.
The S stands for "Secure".
If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://.
This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'insecure' language.
In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the website.
If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site.
This is why you NEVER enter your credit card number in an http website!
