[Yaadein_Meri] What is the difference between http and https ? Informative

 


     DIFFRENCE BETWEEN http AND https
      
 
What  is the difference between http  and https ?        


Don't  know how many of you are aware of this difference, but  it is 
worth sending to anyone who does  not.....

The  main difference between http:// and https://    -   It's all about keeping you secure HTTP stands  for 
Hyper  Text Transfer Protocol  
      
The  S (big  surprise)  stands for "Secure"..  If you visit a     website or web page, and look at the address 
in the web browser, it  will likely begin with the following: http:///. ;;  This  means that the website is talking 
to your  browser using  the regular 'unsecured' languageIn other words, it is possible for someone to  
"eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with  the website. If you fill out a form on the  website, someone
 might see the information you  send to that site. 
 
 
This  is why you never ever ever enter your credit card  number in an http website! But if the web address 
begins with https://, that basically  means your computer is talking to the website in  a secure code that no 
one can eavesdrop on.  

You  understand why this is so important, right?  
       
If  a website ever asks you to enter your credit  card information, you should automatically look  to see 
if the web address begins with https://.    If  it doesn't,  You should NEVER enter  sensitive  information....
such as a credit card  number, bank account number or any personal details
       
        
PLEASE PASS  IT ON.......
