When you see "HTTPS" and the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar, it means that the communication between your computer and the server is encrypted.
This security is provided by a protocol called TLS (Transport Layer Security), though many people still refer to it by its predecessor's name, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
