Why install an SSL/TLS certificate?
A secure and verified channel
The SSL certificate (now technically replaced by TLS) acts as the digital passport of a website.
Here are the three pillars that explain why it is the cornerstone of online trust:
- Authentication: proof of identity
- Confidentialité des données
- Intégrité des données
GlobalSign: Recognized certification authority
Navigators are suspicious by nature… Choosing the certificate from a recognized certification authority (CA) is like having an official passport rather than a hand-drawn identity card: both say who you are, but only one allows you to go through customs without any hassle.
- Full range of certificates
- More than 267M certificates
- Internationaly renowned player
Encrypting mechanisms
The certificate ensures that data are not spied on or modified during transit. Thanks to complex hashing mechanisms, if a hacker tried to intercept and alter a message or transaction between your browser and the server, the connection would be immediately invalidated. This is the guarantee that what you send arrives intact at its destination.
- Data integrity
- Connection encryption

How does a TLS SSL certificate work?
To understand how an SSL certificate works, it is useful to picture the full sequence of a secure connection between a browser and a server. When a user enters the URL of a website using HTTPS, the browser first initiates a TLS handshake: it contacts the server and asks it to prove its identity.
The server then sends its SSL certificate, which contains its public key, domain name, the certificate authority that signed it, as well as information about its validity period and cryptographic properties. The browser verifies this certificate by checking the chain of trust up to a root certificate authority already recognised in its certificate store. If the signature is valid, the domain name matches the website being visited, and the certificate is neither expired nor revoked, the browser accepts it.
A shared session secret is then established securely between the browser and the server. From this shared secret, both parties derive symmetric session keys that are used to encrypt all subsequent application data exchanged between them.
The certificate itself is no longer directly involved in encrypting the data; it has fulfilled its initial role: authenticating the server and enabling the creation of an encrypted communication channel. This provides organisations with confidential communications and data integrity, while also giving users a visible signal of trust in their browser.
What is the TLS SSL certificate used for and how to activate it?
The ssl certificate protects exchanges between the site and its visitors by encrypting the data transmitted. Its installation is usually done in a few clicks via the host’s dashboard. A protected site not only benefits from a climate of trust but also an advantage in terms of referencing on search engines.

How to install an SSL certificate on a website (Apache, Nginx, shared hosting, WordPress)?
In practice, installing an SSL certificate almost always follows the same technical process: first, the administrator retrieves the certificate issued by the certificate authority, the associated private key and, where applicable, the intermediate certificates; the server configuration is then adjusted so that the website responds over HTTPS without any chain-of-trust errors.
On Apache, this step generally involves enabling the SSL module, configuring port 443, and specifying the paths to the crt, key and chain files in the relevant virtual host, before restarting the service and checking the HTTP-to-HTTPS redirection.
On Nginx, the principle is similar, but the configuration is handled within the server block using the dedicated certificate and key directives, while ensuring compatibility with current TLS versions and the use of modern cryptographic algorithms.
For WordPress or other Namebay hosting solutions, each hosting plan includes the installation of a default SSL certificate.
In all cases, the final validation should include checking the padlock, the certificate’s validity period and the absence of mixed-content errors. A poorly deployed certificate provides less protection than it suggests, whereas a rigorous deployment turns a technical requirement into a lasting foundation for trust and performance.
What changes in 2026 for SSL/TLS certificates
Certification Authorities (CAs) no longer issue certificates that are valid for a full year in a single issuance. The maximum validity period is now set at 200 days.
However, for your convenience, when you purchase your certificate, the offer is still provided for a full 1-year period. Here is how it works in practice:
- You purchase your certificate for 1 year.
- You receive a first certificate (valid for 200 days).
- Before it expires, a second certificate is sent to you automatically to cover the remainder of the year.
Key point: These two certificates are technically identical. They use the same private key and the same parameters. Only the expiration date changes.
