SSL error

Certificate verification problem

An SSL error is a failure in the secure connection between a web browser and a server.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and its successor TLS encrypt data in transit; when certificates are expired, mismatched, or untrusted, browsers block the connection and display an error: The site showed an SSL error, so I didn't enter my credit card.

Common causes include outdated certificates, incorrect system clocks, or misconfigured servers.
