SSL certificates are what enable websites to move from HTTP to HTTPS, which increases security and makes browsers happy. Using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol, HTTPS enabled websites use certificates to establish authenticated and encrypted links between networked computers. Its the standard technology for keeping an internet connection secure and safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two devices, preventing third parties from reading and modifying any personal information transferred. They also verify ownership of a website. SSL certificates are what enable websites to move from HTTP to HTTPS, which increases security and makes browsers happy.

Valid SSL certificates are typically issued and obtained from Certificate Authorities. These trusted third parties generate and distribute certificates, signing them with their trusted private key, which allows the clients who use them to verify its authenticity. Websites obtain a certificate from a CA then load it on to their websites hosting service or server, allowing the website to load over HTTPS and have all traffic to and from the website be encrypted and secure.

We decided to have the Embassy act as a Certificate Authority. It creates a self-signed certificate, which means that the private key used to sign the digital certificate is the Embassys own private key instead of a third partys.
