HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is the secure version of HTTP, which is the primary protocol used to send data between a web browser and a website.What makes it "Secure"?
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).
