[www.keralites.net] Difference between http and https

 

Very interesting piece of info!!!   What  is the difference between http  and https ?             Don't  know how many of you are aware of this difference, but  it is     worth sending to any that do not.....     **The  main difference between http:// and https:// is  It's all     about keeping you secure** HTTP stands  for Hyper  Text Transfer     Protocol            The  S (big  surprise)  stands for "Secure"..  If you visit a     website or web page, 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 'unsecured' 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 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,  You should NEVER enter  sensitive     information....such as a credit card  number.                       PASS  IT ON (You may save someone a lot of  grief).
