What Is an SSL Certificate Chain?

An SSL certificate chain is a sequence of digital certificates that are used to establish trust in a website’s identity and secure communications between a web browser and a web server. It includes the website’s SSL certificate, intermediate certificates, and a root certificate. The SSL certificate chain is verified by a web browser to ensure that it is valid and trusted before establishing a secure connection with the website. It is issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) and is crucial for ensuring the security and integrity of digital communications.
