A security certificate, or SSL certificate, is designed to confirm the reliability of information transmitted to your computer from a site. At the same time, a secure channel is created, and the information is transmitted in encrypted form - to protect and save the data. If you are sure of the reliability of the site, and the browser constantly asks for a certificate confirmation, you need to activate the protection certificate.
Necessary
- - the Internet;
- - computer.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the browser you use most often. The installation of the security certificate is triggered exactly in the browser where it will be used. Enter in the address bar the name of the site whose certificate you want to install. As a rule, before using this function, you need to check all local disks of your computer for viruses, because some virus programs are disguised as certificates, and during installation they are activated in the registry of a personal computer.
Step 2
The security certificate confirmation page appears. The browser warns that you are establishing a secure connection by entering this site, and the certificate for this site is unsigned. Find the “Add an exception” text at the bottom of the page. Click on it with the mouse, and then click on the button with the same name. The "Add Security Certificate" window will open, where the site address will be indicated.
Step 3
Click on the "Get a certificate" button and make sure that the box next to the "Always keep this exception" checkbox is checked. Click on the "Confirm security exclusion" button and the page of the site will be loaded, for access to which a security certificate was required. This operation is almost identical when installing any certificate. If the certificate is official, then a special private key will be indicated on the left side, indicating that this certificate is safe.
Step 4
If you are the owner of a website that transfers data over a secure channel, all of your visitors will encounter such warnings in their browsers. This means that you need to install an SSL certificate on your site - this can be done on specialized sites.
