Many people are learning what SSL certificates are. SSL stands for secure socket layer. When you go to a site to shop or enter other information individuals will want to know that their information is secure. No one wants to enter a password, credit card information or other secure information unless they know it is secure.
A certificate is authenticated by a third party. In other words a certificate shows that someone authenticated the site you are about to enter information into. A lock is typically shown in the browser bar. At times a certificate is shown in a pop up and the user sees it and accepts it.
It would be worth looking into for your site as well.
