Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is MORE secured?
A
HTTP
B
HTTPS
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -To sum everything up, TLS and SSL are both protocols to authenticate and encrypt the transfer of data on the Internet. The two are tightly linked and TLS is really just the more modern, secure version of SSL.

Detailed explanation-3: -TCP transmission is reliable, secure, and guarantees the integrity of data sent over a network, regardless of the amount.

Detailed explanation-4: -HTTPS doesn’t mean a website is 100% secure or fail-safe. HTTPS only secures the communications between two computers, such as a user’s computer via web browser and a web server. HTTPS offers stronger security than HTTP, it does not protect the user’s computer or the web server itself from attack by hackers or malware.

Detailed explanation-5: -TLS (Transport Layer Security): More Secure Version of SSL Due to the recognized security flaws in SSL, security experts realized that a better and more secure protocol needed to be developed. TLS 1.0 was a successor to SSL 3.0 and was first defined in 1999.
