Difference between http:// and https://.


 



Http and Https


Whatever work we do in our life, first of all we take care of our safety.

Like we use helmet while driving for our safety,

Keep our money safe by depositing money in banks, to protect mobile and laptop from virus

Keep the device safe by using antivirus, in the same way when we search any information from browser or do online transaction using internet, then a secure link exists between our device and server which can protect our personal data from any hacker. Keeps it out of sight, the name of that link is https. We all use the internet every day and you must have also seen that Http or Https is written before the domain address of any website. Have you ever wondered what it all means 

And why is it used? In today's post, we are going to give you information about this topic.

Where we will tell you what is Http and Https and what is the difference between these two.


So first of all we will know what is http?


The full name of Http is Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, it is a type of network protocol.


Which is used in the world wide web. Here there is a set of protocol rules


Which acts as a communication channel between the browser and the server


And controls the work of data transfer between the two.


When we enter the domain of any one website or blog on the address bar of the web browser.  

Like we wrote here Google.com and as soon as we press enter. So automatically the domain name is written with "http://" on the web address of the browser.


http://Google.com after which our ISP will connect the browser with http

allows to connect.


And the server in which that domain name is hosted, connects the http browser with that server and shows all the data related to the domain name on the user's screen, all the files are stored in the server and according to the request of the client, the server is sent to the client. responds. Here our web browser works like a client. Any type between web browser and server


World's Most Strongest

When data transfer occurs, they have to follow some rules and these rules are determined by the http protocol


Can #send and receive data packets at web, because http uses port 80, so its security is very less


Due to which any person can easily break the connection between the client and the server.


And can steal data, but it does not mean that everyone can break it, it is necessary to have good knowledge of computer software to break it. If you read articles on any website or songs from anywhere


If you download, you will not suffer any loss even if such information is in the hands of a hacker, but if you talk about email accounts, net banking and online


Transaction in which id and password are used. So if such sensitive information comes in the hands of a hacker then you can suffer heavy loss.


And now we will know what is https?


The full name of Https is Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secured Https also does all the same things that http does but there is a strong security feature in https protocol,


Https is a water-secured version of http as it uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer).


Whose job is to transfer data in encrypted form between the browser and the server, SSL is based on the RSA algorithm where a public key and a private key are used in SSL. The public key is used to encrypt the information and the private key is used to decrypt the information. In Https connection all the data is encrypted by cryptography.


converted to a format that is difficult to decode without a decryption key


And similarly the sensitive data or information being transferred is protected.


Data from Https remains quite secure because it is in encrypted form.

Which becomes difficult to hack. Even if a hacker hacks the information, it will remain in encrypted form, so that in order to bring that data to his work, the hacker will have to decrypt the data, which is a bit difficult task. This is one of the reasons that all the websites for money transfer or online transactions use https connection so that the data of the users is safe.


You must have seen "https://" in the beginning of the URL of a website,


This means that your data is secured through SSL.




In front of such a URL, a green lock icon appears as secure as written.


And now we will know what is the difference between http and https?



1. Http is such a protocol on which the data and information of the users goes in the form of hypertext.

i


2. That means it goes to Plain text which can be hacked while Https is secured.


That is, all data transfer between your browser and website is encrypted, due to which data cannot be hacked by hackers.


3. Http URLs start with "http://" while https URLs start with "https://*".


4. Http Proxy server supports HTTP connection at Port 80 while https Proxy server supports SSL connection at Port 443. Therefore https remains more secure than http


5. Online banking and online shopping through Http is not safe.


Whereas https is often used to protect transactions in online transactions.


blog, school college a websites are made to share information at they can use http but


Any shopping sites, social sites, email account


6. Http does not require any certificate so it is free


and automatically gets added to all blogs or websites but https is a paid service


Which requires an SSL certificate to use. Due to the SSL certificate, a lot of traffic also comes to the website and blog.



In the end, we would like to tell you that you should never enter your personal details such as Email Id and Password or Credit / Debit card details in any such websites which have only http in front of the websites because if you do this then you will be in big trouble. It can easily be hacked by a hacker who can steal your personal details.


So always work on the internet with caution and keep yourself


Keep it safe


Hope you have come to know about what is http and https.

So always work on the internet with caution and keep yourself


And we also hope that now whatever website you surf, you will be able to understand the importance of http and https in front of it and know whether you have to enter your personal details in that website or not, it has always been my endeavor. that through our articles

"5G Technology: What It Is and What It Means for the Future of Connectivity"

  5G technology is the latest breakthrough in wireless network technology, promising faster speeds, lower latency, and greater capacity than ever before. It is set to revolutionize the way we connect and communicate, enabling the seamless integration of devices and data into our daily lives. So what exactly is 5G technology? In simple terms, 5G is the fifth generation of wireless network technology. It is designed to operate on a higher frequency spectrum than its predecessors, which allows it to transmit more data at faster speeds with lower latency. 5G technology is expected to be up to 100 times faster than current 4G technology, enabling lightning-fast downloads, smooth streaming, and responsive gaming. The advantages of 5G technology extend beyond just faster speeds. The lower latency of 5G technology means that devices can communicate with each other almost instantly, which is essential for applications such as autonomous vehicles or remote surgery. 5G technology also has the pot

The Importance of Accessibility in Technology Design and Development

  Accessibility in technology design and development is incredibly important as it ensures that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can use and benefit from technology. Advancements in this area have made significant progress towards creating a more inclusive world, where technology is accessible to all. Firstly, it is essential to consider accessibility in the design phase of technology products. This includes designing interfaces that are easy to navigate, using clear and concise language, and ensuring that features such as contrast, font size, and audio descriptions are present.For instance, tech companies are increasingly providing features like high-contrast modes, text-to-speech features, and closed captions to make their products more accessible for people with visual, auditory, or cognitive disabilities. Secondly, technology development has made strides in developing assistive technologies to help people with disabilities access technology. For instance, screen readers, sp
