What is the difference between HTTP and HTTPS
  • HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for transferring data over the web, but it is not encrypted. Data transmitted via HTTP is vulnerable to interception by malicious parties.
  • HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure), on the other hand, is the secure version of HTTP. It encrypts the data using SSL/TLS (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security), ensuring that communications between the browser and server are encrypted and protected from man-in-the-middle attacks.
