Which SSL version is most secure?

The SHA-1 hashing algorithm is considered to be more secure than the MD5 hashing algorithm. SHA-1 allows SSL Version 3.0 to support additional cipher suites which use SHA-1 instead of MD5. SSL Version 3.0 protocol reduces man-in-the-middle (MITM) type of attacks from occurring during SSL handshake processing.

Is SSL really secure?

Many people believe that a SSL Certificate means a website is safe to use. Just because a website has a certificate, or starts with HTTPS, does not guarantee that it is 100% secure and free from malicious code. It just means that the website is probably safe. In the vast majority of cases the sites will be.

Can SSL certificates be faked?

When an SSL certificate is a valid one, the browser shows HTTPS in the address bar. It also shows the padlock icon. If the certificate is fake, the browser shows it as ‘not-secure’. In this case, no padlock icon or HTTPS appears.
