Detailed explanation-1: -1. Check the SSL certificate. A secure URL always begins with “HTTPS” at the start instead of “HTTP”.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fortunately, there are two quick checks to help you be certain: Look at the uniform resource locator (URL) of the website. 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-3: -HTTPS runs over SSL, which uses a symmetric session key negotiated independently by both peers. It is never transmitted. The server’s keypair is only used to provide a digital signature over its certificate, which the client can verify, which proves that that server owns that certificate.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -HTTPS uses the SSL/TLS protocol to encrypt communications so that attackers can’t steal data. SSL/TLS also confirms that a website server is who it says it is, preventing impersonations. This stops multiple kinds of cyber attacks (just like food safety prevents illness).
