Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a protocol that allows web browsers and servers to communicate securely. It provides authentication of servers, confidentiality, and integrity of data in transit. A server certificate is required for SSL and is used to authenticate the server to clients. The document demonstrates configuring and testing SSL on an Apache Tomcat server, and discusses costs associated with obtaining certificates.
