Amarketplaceofideas SSL TLS Certificates

This blog was not loading on my phone, secondary laptop and friend's phone. Inquired with Dreamhost support. They suggested installing the free certificates.

An SSL certificate is a file installed on a website's origin server. It's simply a data file containing the public key and the identity of the website owner, along with other information. Without an SSL certificate, a website's traffic can't be encrypted with TLS.

SSL/TLS uses both asymmetric and symmetric encryption to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data-in-transit. Asymmetric encryption is used to establish a secure session between a client and a server, and symmetric encryption is used to exchange data within the secured session.

Does TLS use AES encryption?  – TLS is a set of industry-standard cryptographic protocols used for encrypting information that is exchanged over the network. AES-256 is a 256-bit encryption cipher used for data transmission in TLS.
