Detailed explanation-1: -HTTPS is an implementation of TLS encryption on top of the HTTP protocol, which is used by all websites as well as some other web services. Any website that uses HTTPS is therefore employing TLS encryption.
Detailed explanation-2: -TLS is normally implemented on top of TCP in order to encrypt Application Layer protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SMTP and IMAP, although it can also be implemented on UDP, DCCP and SCTP as well (e.g. for VPN and SIP-based application uses).
Detailed explanation-3: -HTTPS today uses Transport Layer Security, or TLS. TLS is a network protocol that establishes an encrypted connection to an authenticated peer over an untrusted network. Earlier, less secure versions of this protocol were called Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL).
Detailed explanation-4: -Simply put, it’s up to you. Most browsers will allow the use of any SSL or TLS protocol. However, credit unions and banks should use TLS 1.1 or 1.2 to ensure a protected connection. The later versions of TLS will protect encrypted codes against attacks, and keep your confidential information safe.
