SSL certificate

[Auditions]

what is SSL and HTTPS is there any major distance?

[happygeek]

Simply put, HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) plus SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) = HTTPS.

The 'S' in HTTPS just stands for secure.

SSL – or Secure Socket Layer – is a technology that prevents anyone other than the authorized party from looking at your data. SSL turns your “plain text” data into “cipher text” through the process of encryption while the HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL certificate

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) are related but serve different purposes in internet security:

SSL:

• SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, created by Netscape in 1995.
• It is an encryption-based internet security protocol.
• SSL secures data transmission between a website and a browser by encrypting the information exchanged.
• SSL is a foundational technology for internet security, creating a secure connection.

HTTPS:

• HTTPS is a combination of HTTP and SSL/TLS (Transport Layer Security).
• It ensures secure communication over the internet by encrypting data.
• HTTPS is an extension of HTTP with an added layer of security provided by SSL/TLS.
• The primary difference is that HTTPS uses TLS (SSL's successor) to encrypt and secure HTTP requests and responses.
