Overview of SSL Certificates in Utho Cloud Platform

An SSL certificate in the Utho Cloud Platform is a digital certificate used to establish secure, encrypted communication between a client (usually a web browser) and a server over the internet. It ensures that any data transferred between the two is encrypted and protected from unauthorized access. SSL certificates are crucial for enabling HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) on websites, ensuring that user information, such as login credentials, credit card details, and other sensitive data, is transmitted securely.

Common Uses of SSL Certificates

• Secure Communication: SSL certificates enable secure communication between a web server and a browser by encrypting the data exchanged. This prevents sensitive information from being intercepted by attackers.
• Authentication of Websites: SSL certificates authenticate the identity of websites, ensuring users are connecting to the legitimate website and not a malicious imposter.
• Data Integrity: SSL certificates also ensure that the data sent between the user and the server is not tampered with during transmission.
• Trust and Confidence: Websites with SSL certificates show a padlock icon in browsers, reassuring visitors that their connection is secure and that the website is trustworthy.

SSL Certificates in Utho’s Cloud Platform

In Utho’s cloud platform, users can easily create and manage SSL certificates for their websites or applications, ensuring secure connections and data transmission. When creating an SSL certificate, users provide a name , certificate content , and private key to generate the certificate. This SSL certificate can then be associated with their cloud instances or web services.

By managing SSL certificates through Utho’s cloud interface, users can:

• Create new SSL certificates for secure communication on websites and applications.
• View the details of their SSL certificates, including the certificate content and expiration date.
• Delete or update existing SSL certificates to ensure the security of their cloud resources and websites.

This functionality ensures that Utho Cloud customers can maintain a high level of security for their web applications and resources, with streamlined access to managing SSL certificates for encrypted communication and data protection
