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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The key or lock icon is the Android symbol for VPN service. It will remain within the notification bar when Safe Browsing is enabled.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most browsers have become intelligent enough to detect and track sites with malware or used for phishing scams. They provide big red warning pages. All browsers visually indicate if a site uses HTTPS with some sort of padlock icon on the left side of the address bar.
Detailed explanation-4: -You should see a padlock – some browsers colour it green – in the address bar. That means that the whole website is encrypted. In other browsers you will also sometimes see a padlock with a warning triangle. This means that some pages on the website aren’t encrypted, though others are.
