HTTPS
The secure version of HTTP that encrypts all data between the browser and server.
HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) is the encrypted version of HTTP, the protocol your browser uses to communicate with web servers. When you see the padlock icon in your browser's address bar, the connection is using HTTPS. It encrypts all data in transit using TLS, preventing anyone from eavesdropping on or tampering with the communication, including passwords, credit card numbers, and personal data. Modern browsers mark HTTP sites as "Not Secure." HTTPS requires an SSL/TLS certificate on the server.
