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: -To provide encryption, HTTPS uses an encryption protocol known as Transport Layer Security, and officially, it is referred to as a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Detailed explanation-3: -HTTPS stands for hypertext transfer protocol secure. HTTPS is almost the same as HTTP, except it utilises the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. These technologies encrypt the data shared between web browsers and servers, adding an extra layer of security that fends off cybercriminals.
