Detailed explanation-1: -If you see https, the session between the web server and the browser on the mobile device you are using is encrypted. You can easily identify web servers that have https configured by looking at the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in the web address bar of your browser.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is HTTP? Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the way servers and browsers talk to each other. It’s a great language for computers, but it’s not encrypted.
Detailed explanation-3: -Definition: HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. It is the protocol where encrypted HTTP data is transferred over a secure connection.
Detailed explanation-4: -Encryption In Transit / Encryption At Rest SSL and TLS don’t provide us with encryption at rest (when the data is stored on the website’s server). This means that if a hacker is able to gain access to the server, they can read all the data you have submitted.
Detailed explanation-5: -HTTPS over SSL/TLS is designed to provide encryption in transit. Since communication between a browser and website server (with a secure certificate) is in an encrypted format, the data packets in transit cannot be tampered with or read even if they are intercepted.
