How do I recognize valid SSL certificates?

Verifying the validity of an SSL certificate is important to ensure that the connection to a website is secure and that the data transmitted is encrypted. Here are some steps to check the validity of an SSL certificate:

HTTPS connection: Check if the website uses "https://" instead of "http://". The "s" stands for "secure" and indicates that an encrypted connection is used.

Green lock icon: A green lock icon in the browser address bar is an indication that the website has a valid SSL certificate. Click on the lock icon for more information.

View certificate information: Click the lock icon and select the View Certificate or View Certificate Information option, depending on your browser. You can view details about the certificate here.

Verify the certificate issuer (CA): Make sure the certificate was issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA). Popular CAs include Let's Encrypt, Comodo, Symantec, etc.

Check expiration date: Check the expiration date of the certificate. An expired certificate is no longer valid. Some browsers warn about expired certificates.

Hostname Match: Make sure that the hostname specified on the certificate matches the hostname of the website. If the names don't match, it could indicate an insecure connection.

Additional certificate information: In the certificate information you can also check whether the certificate is correctly configured for the specific use (e.g., for server authorization).

Use online tools: There are also online tools that you can use to check the validity of an SSL certificate. Just enter the website URL and the tool will show you the certificate information.

It is important that you complete these checks to ensure you are on a safe and trustworthy website. Insecure or expired certificates could indicate potential security risks.
