Difference Between HTTP & HTTPS



HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it’s a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients. This all is of no use. The important thing is the letter S which makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. The S (big surprise) stands for “Secure“.
 



If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://. This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular ‘unsecure’ language. In other words, it is possible for someone to eavesdrop on your computer’s conversation with the website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site.
This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an “HTTP”website..!!
But if the web address begins with https://, that basically means your computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.
If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it doesn’t, there’s no way you’re going to enter sensitive information like a credit card number..!!
You won’t see anything different between the HTTP and HTTPS sites. There are only two differences you’ll notice:
    • The web address (at the top of your web browser) will begin with https instead of http.

  • Your web browser may give you a message something like, You are about to view pages over a secure connection.

So here are a couple examples of https sites.

 

It’s all about keeping you secure..!!
