What is SSL handshake and its purpose?
SSL handshake is a process that occurs when a web browser or application initiates a secure connection with a website or server. During the handshake, the client and server exchange encrypted data to confirm their identities, agree on encryption methods, and establish a secure connection. The purpose of the SSL handshake is to ensure that data exchanged between the client and server is encrypted and secure, protecting sensitive information such as login credentials, financial transactions, and personal data from being intercepted or tampered with by malicious third parties.
