# About the lock icon

When you see a lock icon in the upper right-corner of the Safari window, you know that you are visiting a secure website. This means you can safely enter confidential information here, because Safari has verified the website’s ownership with a certificate and will encrypt any information you enter.

To view the contents of this website’s certificate, click the lock icon.
