How does error 5271 relate to HTTPS and SSL/TLS?

Error 5271 is directly related to HTTPS and SSL/TLS because these technologies are used to secure the connection between a web browser and a web server. HTTPS uses SSL/TLS to encrypt the data transmitted. Error 5271 arises when there's a problem with the SSL/TLS certificate or the secure connection process, preventing the browser from establishing a trusted and encrypted connection to the website, thus preventing access to the website through the secure HTTPS protocol.
