HTTPS

HTTPS, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, is a secure version of HTTP, the protocol used for transferring data over the web. It establishes a secure connection between your browser and a website, encrypting data to protect it from eavesdroppers and hackers. This means that any information you send, such as passwords or credit card numbers, is kept private. Websites using HTTPS display a padlock symbol in the address bar, indicating that they are safe to interact with. This protocol is essential for secure online activities, especially for transactions and sharing sensitive information.
