HTTPS
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure HTTPS is an extension of a Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP. it is used for secure communication over a computer network, & is widely used on the Internet. In HTTPS, the communication protocol is encrypted using Transport Layer Security TLS or, formerly, Secure Sockets Layer SSL. The protocol is therefore also covered to as HTTP over TLS, or HTTP over SSL.
The principal motivations for HTTPS are tampering. The authentication aspect of HTTPS requires a trusted third party toserver-side digital certificates. This was historically an expensive operation, which meant fully authenticated HTTPS connections were usually found only on secured payment transaction services as well as other secured corporate information systems on the World Wide Web. In 2016, a campaign by the Electronic Frontier Foundation with the assist of web browser developers led to the protocol becoming more prevalent. HTTPS is now used more often by web users than the original non-secure HTTP, primarily to protect page authenticity on all set of websites; secure accounts; and to keep user communications, identity, and web browsing private.
