As far as I know, SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer-a cryptographic Protocol that provides a secure connection between the client and the server. This is very important if there is no security personal data can get to the malefactor.To use it, you need to contact a special company that provides similar services such as ssl certificate (https://www.ssls.com/) I have been using their services for many years.

SSL is the backbone of our secure Internet and it protects your sensitive information. SSL is essential for protecting your website, even if it doesn't handle sensitive information like credit cards. It provides privacy, critical security and data integrity for both your websites and your users' personal information.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client—typically a web server (website) and a browser, or a mail server and a mail client (e.g., Outlook).

In short, It is used to securely transfer data from one point to another.

With an SSL certificate, data is encrypted prior to being transmitted via Internet. Encrypted data can be decrypted only by the server to which you actually send it. This ensures that the information you submit to websites will not be stolen.
