The SSL secure site seal is an image file that has a function to assure visitors that all connections are secure of which can be displayed on your website. It comes along with a SSL certificate that has the capability to show information regarding the certificate authority and the SSL certificate authority types. The site seal is a proof that the certificate authority has verified and authenticated the site and have issued the SSL certificate in question.
