When a computer connects to an HTTPS website, the browser verifies the authenticity of the remote site using certificates. Here’s how it works: Certificates: When you visit a website using HTTPS, your browser checks the site’s SSL/TLS certificate against its list. If the certificate is valid and comes from an authentic certificate provider, your browser confirms that the site is secure and displays a padlock icon in the address bar. This certificate ensures that the website is indeed a legitimate one and not a fake site set up by malicious actors. So, in summary, the browser relies on certificates to establish the authenticity of the remote site when accessing an HTTPS website.
