Detailed explanation-1: -The lock symbol and related URL containing “https” simply mean that the connection between your web browser and the website server is encrypted, which is important. It prevents others from eavesdropping or intercepting your communication between your browser and the website’s server.
Detailed explanation-2: -When you go to a site that has a padlock icon next to the site name, it means the site is secured with a digital certificate. This means that any information sent between your browser and the website is sent securely, and can’t be intercepted and read by someone else while the information is in transit.
Detailed explanation-3: -The padlock icon on your browser means that you are browsing a secured website. These websites are using HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure), a secure protocol that web servers use to communicate with your web browser.
Detailed explanation-4: -When you visit a website, the Site Identity button (a padlock) appears in the address bar to the left of the web address. You can quickly find out if the connection to the website you are viewing is encrypted, and in some cases who owns the website.
Detailed explanation-5: -They tell you if a site has a security certificate, if Chrome trusts that certificate, and if Chrome has a private connection with a site. Information you send or get through the site is private. Even with this icon, always be careful when sharing private information.
