You may have noticed that the links start with http and there are other links starting with https, which one day wonders what the difference is! So in today's post we will show the most important of them.
What is HTTP?
In the normal case, your Internet browser transfers the information to the Internet servers unencrypted by means of a protocol called HTTP, which is a shortcut to the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, the main protocol for transferring data over the Internet and the tool that allows you Transfer information from your PC via browsers.
What is the information exposed in the case of using http?
All requests and information are open to your Internet provider or hacker who mediates between you and the site you want to access when using the http, starting from the moment you request the site, ie register your request and register the page you requested to visit. In addition, if you enter your password and user name, this data will be sent as clear text to the server, which means that your ISP or hacker can also view the password.
What is https?
Htps is a shortcut to Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, which is a combination of the http protocol, which we talked about above, in all its details, and the SSL / TLS protocol, which creates a secure and encrypted channel between the user and the Internet server for the transfer of data http.
By using this protocol, all outgoing data from your device is encrypted and decrypted in the server. The server encrypts the data before sending it to you for the protocol to decrypt.
This protocol is the most widely used in sites that contain registration data such as e-mail and forums, and has been adopted in most official sites, exactly as Facebook site, if you look at the link to Facebook now in your browser you will find it starts with https.
If, the two are text transfer protocols, the difference is that the second provides data protection, while the first lacks it.
