![]() The client and server can also authenticate each other using self-signed certificates, however, you will almost never want to use a self-signed certificate, except for an Intranet or a development server. During server authentication, an SSL-enabled client application uses standard techniques of public-key cryptography to verify the server's identity by checking that the server's certificate is issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA) and proves the ownership of the public key.Ĭonversely, SSL client authentication allows the server to validate the client's identity. It runs on top of TCP/IP to secure client-server communications by allowing an SSL-enabled client to authenticate itself to an SSL-enabled server and vice versa. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a standard protocol for secure access to a remote machine over untrusted networks.
