This protocol dates back to the 1980s and over time has proven to be ineffective because it allows hackers to intervene between client and server to intercept the transferred information. To prevent this, the HTTPS protocol was created (where the "S" stands for "Secure") which transmits encrypted data thus. Guaranteeing secure communication Special Data between client and server. The use of the secure HTTPS protocol is only possible through the use of an SSL certificate. How to recognize a site that uses an SSL certificate? As we mentioned, sites that use SSL certificates are able to provide a secure connection because they use the HTTPS protocol instead of the HTTP protocol. The substantial difference is this: Sites that start w are not secure because they do not have an. SSL certificate and transmit data in clear text. Sites that begin with “https://” are safe because they have an SSL certificate that allows them to transmit encrypted data that is incomprehensible to potential hackers. Secure Site To have a guarantee on the security of the website you are browsing, you must therefore pay attention to the website address on the browser navigation bar: secure sites are highlighted by the presence of a padlock and begin with.
