HTTPS

HTTPS secures web traffic by wrapping standard HTTP in a TLS-encrypted tunnel to ensure data integrity and privacy.

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is the industry standard for safe data exchange, utilizing Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt communications between browsers and servers. By leveraging Port 443 and X.509 digital certificates, it prevents man-in-the-middle attacks and verifies server identity. Modern browsers like Chrome and Firefox now enforce HTTPS by default, flagging non-encrypted sites as insecure to protect sensitive user credentials and financial transactions.
