Differences between HTTP and HTTPS
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web, which defines the communication between the server side and client side. HTTP was initially designed in plain text, that is not encrypted, so it is a possibility that leads to information leakage. HTTP is not suitable for transmitting sensitive information such as password.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) was created by Netscape for managing the security concern. SSL was then evolved to become HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure). All websites encrypted by SSL use https:// at the beginning at the web address, such as https://www.google.com. Always make sure “https://” appears at the beginning of the web address before you provide any sensitive information (e.g. login password) over the Internet.
Is a website that starts with https safe?
URL starts with “https” may not be safe, as it only means that the communication is encrypted, and does not mean that the website is free of fraudulent elements.
