SSL means Secure Socket Layer which one can say measure for internet security.It is identity of a website we visit.

Another way to identify wheather a website using secure connection or not is to check for the small symbol of lock at the adress bar and somtimes https is cut by red line through, it means the certificate is not verified the browser. Now a days online shopping sites and web hosting companies using HTTPS.
