SSL certificates provide a secure and trusted method to encrypt communications, verify identities, protect data integrity, and establish trust relationships between communicating parties. SSL certificates are an important tool used to protect sensitive information and meet security requirements.
Alibaba Cloud Certificate Management Service is a software as a service (SaaS) solution that integrates SSL certificate lifecycle management on the cloud and SSL certificate deployment. Certificate Management Service can issue and manage server certificates and end-entity certificates. Certificate Management Service also provides a solution for automated certificate deployment on the cloud. This way, you can implement data transmission encryption and source encryption to ensure data security in a convenient manner.
Scenarios
HTTPS Encryption for Websites, Apps, and Mini Programs
HTTP websites are prone to data theft. HTTP websites do not meet the security authentication requirements of browsers and are marked as insecure upon access to the websites. As a result, users cannot access the websites, and related apps or mini programs cannot be published. This affects business development. If a web page is protected by an SSL certificate, a green address bar is displayed in a browser, and a lock icon and the https prefix are displayed in the address bar.
Identity Authentication
SSL is critical for meeting Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements. When a user accesses a website, the user checks the identity information of the certificate holder to determine the authenticity of the website. You can use certificates to protect websites and block cyber harassment attacks, phishing websites, and man-in-the-middle attacks. This also improves the search engine rankings of websites.
Anti-tamper and Anti-leak
During data transmission, encrypted connections are established to ensure the confidentiality of transmitted data. This also protects account security and prevents data from being tampered with or leaked.
Improved Search Engine Rankings
You can use certificates to improve the trust level of your website, improve user experience, accelerate page loading, and optimize mobile device experience. This helps the website achieve a higher search engine ranking.

Two-way Authentication
Web applications may encounter the following issues: traffic attacks launched by illegal clients, untrusted clients, and unsecure and unreliable data transmission in B2B services. Some industries and organizations need to comply with special regulations on data confidentiality and protection, and use SSL certificates to meet security and compliance requirements.
Meet Requirements for Two-way SSL Authentication
Two-way SSL authentication helps ensure that both identities of a connection are trusted and prevents man-in-the-middle attacks. For example, two-way SSL authentication is required for remote procedure call (RPC) connections and IoT devices.
Improve Server-side Traffic Security
Two-way authentication helps block access from untrusted clients and improve server-side traffic security.
