Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The initial protocol from which it originates is the well-known HTTP, in which all information exchanged between our browser and the server is in normal text. In HTTPS the traffic is encrypted, ensuring a secure connection.

Detailed explanation-2: -HTTPS is based on the TLS encryption protocol, which secures communications between two parties. TLS uses asymmetric public key infrastructure for encryption.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
