Google & SSL Certificates

Have you heard the news? Google announced that websites are now required to have an SSL certificate in order to avoid being flagged as an unsecure site to all Google Chrome users.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security protocol used for transmitting private documents via the Internet.

It’s pretty standard security tech when dealing with the transfer of private information over the web, although there are a lot of websites that don’t have it.
