Describe three of the stages a web
browser goes through to detect whether a website is secure.
- requests web server to identify itself/view the (SSL) certificate
- receives a copy of the (SSL) certificate, sent from the webserver
- checks if SSL certificate is authentic/trustworthy
- sends signal back to webserver that the certificate is authentic/trustworthy
- starts to transmit data once connection is established as secure
- if website is not secure browser will display an open padlock/warning message
