An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a certificate that functions to bind an organization’s information to a cryptographic key that when installed it activates a padlock and the https protocol that all function to offer secure connection between the server and the web browser.
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. The site seal also ensures that the visitors to a certain secured website are safe for all kind of web transactions.

The site seal can be accessed to reveal the information on time and date that the certificate remains still valid.
