Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an extension of the standard internet protocol HTTPS used to transfer data between your web browser and a website. It encrypts the information exchanged, such as passwords or credit card details, making it difficult for hackers to intercept or read. This encryption helps ensure your online interactions are private and secure, giving you confidence when sharing sensitive information online. HTTPS is indicated by a padlock icon in your browser's address bar, signaling that the connection is protected. It is essential for secure online activities like shopping, banking, and logging into accounts.
