Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (https) is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS is an authentication and security protocol widely implemented in browsers and Web servers.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) are both computer protocols involved in the transfer of data, but while they individually serve their own purpose, they have a close relationship.

Detailed explanation-4: -The default HTTP and HTTPS ports for the Web server are port 80 and 443, respectively.
