Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If you see HTTPS in a website address, you can trust the website.
A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A secure URL should begin with “https” rather than “http.” The “s” in “https” stands for secure, which indicates that the site is using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate. This lets you know that all your communication and data is encrypted as it passes from your browser to the website’s server.

Detailed explanation-2: -HTTPS is HTTP with encryption and verification. The only difference between the two protocols is that HTTPS uses TLS (SSL) to encrypt normal HTTP requests and responses, and to digitally sign those requests and responses. As a result, HTTPS is far more secure than HTTP.

Detailed explanation-3: -HTTP is not secure and was not designed with security in mind. The problem is not the HTTP itself, but that HTTP data is not encrypted. HTTP is safe if we don’t submit private information. Both HTTP and HTTPS websites can be hacked.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP, which is the primary protocol used to send data between a web browser and a website. HTTPS is encrypted in order to increase security of data transfer.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
