# What is the lock icon?

When you see a lock icon at the top of the Safari window or in the address field, you know that you are visiting a secure website. This means that Safari has verified the website’s ownership with a certificate and will encrypt any information you enter.

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