Checking Digital Certificates

When conducting important business on the Web, for example banking, e-commerce, or other official business, we must be sure of the authenticity of the webpage/website. And we must use HTTPS.

When visiting a secure webpage, such as JPMorgan Chase Bank, you need to first check its Digital Certificate. This is a good habit. We don't want to be tricked by a fake webpage.
