Web Security ✨

HTTPS and HTTP


✅ HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is the standard for secure data exchange on the web. It is essentially HTTP running over an encrypted TLS (Transport Layer Security) connection.

☀️ The Three Pillars of HTTPS

💠 Encryption: Scrambles data so it cannot be read by eavesdroppers while in transit.

💠 Authentication: Proves that the website is who it claims to be, preventing users from being tricked into visiting imposter sites.

💠 Data Integrity: Ensures that the data cannot be tampered with or corrupted during transfer without being detected.
