SSL/TLS证书是什么？What is an SSL certificate?

An SSL certificate displays important information for verifying the owner of a website and encrypting web traffic with SSL/TLS, including the public key, the issuer of the certificate, and the associated subdomains.

一个SSL证书是用来显示网站所有权、公钥、证书发布者及其包含的域名等重要信息，以及用于加密网络连接及传输的数据的。

SSL certificates are what enable websites to move from HTTP to HTTPS, which is more secure. An SSL certificate is a data file hosted in a website's origin server. SSL certificates make SSL/TLS encryption possible, and they contain the website's public key and the website's identity, along with related information. Devices attempting to communicate with the origin server will reference this file to obtain the public key and verify the server's identity. The private key is kept secret and secure.

SSL证书是一种可以让网站从HTTP访问方式升到到HTTPS访问方式的一种必需品，当然安全性更高。每个SSL证书，需要保存在网站程序所在的服务器上。SSL证书使得SSL/TLS加密成为可能，在其内部包含了网站的公钥及网站的标识，以及网站其它的一些相关信息。试图与网站服务器通信的设备，会首先引用这个文件来获取公钥，以此来验证网站服务器的身份是否正确可信。至于SSL/TLS加密中的私钥，则是在服务器上被安全妥善管理着。
