- When a browser or server tries to connect to a site that is using SSL (HTTPS). It will pass the request to its corresponding webservers.
- Then the webserver will send an SSL certificate copy to the browser that tries to access the site.
- The browser will check that it will trust (or) not the SSL Certificate. If so then it will send a response to the webserver.
- Then the webserver will send a digitally signed acknowledgment to the server to start an SSL encrypted connection session.
- Then it will create an encrypted connection between the browser and webserver.
