Difference between http& https

HI Friends,

Everyone surfs the net these days..... & you go through
thousands of websites ....
here is a piece of
information about the
securities of the websites.....

Difference between "http" & "https".

MUST read!!! FIRST, MANY PEOPLE ARE
UNAWARE OF:
**The main difference
between http:// and
https:// is.
It's all about keeping you secure** HTTP stands for HyperText Transport Protocol, which is
just a fancy way of saying it's a protocol (a language, in
a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients.

The important thing is the letter S which makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. The S (big surprise) stands
for "Secure". If you visit a
website or webpage, and
look at the address in the
web browser, it will likely
begin with the following: http://.
This means that the website is talking to your browser
using the regular 'unsecure'
language.

In other words, it is possible
for someone to "eavesdrop"
on your computer's
conversation with the
website. If you fill out a form on the
website, someone might see
the information you send to
that site. This is why you never ever
enter your credit card
number in an http website! But, if the web address
begins with https:// ,

that basically means your
computer is talking to the
website in a secure code
that no one can eavesdrop on. You understand why this is
so important, right? If a website ever asks you
to enter your credit card
information, you should
automatically look to see if the web address begins with https:// .

If it doesn't, there's no way
you're going to enter
sensitive information like a
credit card number.
