<h2>HTTPS</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
HTTPS is the 'Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure', which means that it is a variation on the HTTP protocol - except it uses transport layer security
|
||
(TLS) - an encryption protocol invoked by an HTTPS request, that enables authentication and encryption on the webpage being visited. SSL is
|
||
essentially the usage of ‘digital passports’, and it functions by ‘hopping onto’ TCP protocols. It does not resend ‘lost’ packets or
|
||
‘miscommunicated' data, because this increases security.
