Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. Its use for retrieving inter-linked resources, called hypertext documents, led to the establishment of the World Wide Web in 1990 by English physicist Tim Berners-Lee. There are two major versions, HTTP/1.0 that uses a with the SSL/TLS Transport Layer Security and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide security for communications over networks such as the Internet. TLS and SSL encrypt the segments of network connections at the Transport Layer end-to-end protocol to provide encryption and secure identification of the server. HTTPS connections are often used for payment transactions on the World Wide Web The World Wide Web, abbreviated as WWW and W3 and commonly known as The Web, is a system of interlinked hypertext documents contained on the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them using hyperlinks. Using concepts from earlier hypertext systems, and for sensitive transactions in corporate information systems. HTTPS should not be confused with Secure HTTP Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol is a little-used alternative to the HTTPS URI scheme for encrypting web communications carried over HTTP. S-HTTP is defined in RFC 2660 (S-HTTP) specified in RFC 2660.
