An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. It ensures that data transmitted between your iPhone and the website is protected from eavesdropping and tampering. Websites with SSL certificates use 'HTTPS' instead of 'HTTP' in their URLs.
