If you’ve ever shopped online or used Internet banking, you may be familiar with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. Better known as HTTPS, this technology is simply a more secure form of the regular HTTP protocol that uses SSL.
HTTPS works by encrypting data that would otherwise be out in the open. Most people don’t realize it, but when you send data over the Internet, it is by default unprotected and readable by anyone with the right tools. This is fine for most websites, but for anything financial or communication related, HTTPS is a must.
If you wish to shop at an online store with HTTP or use an email provider that does not offer the option for a secure connection, you may want to find an alternative service.
