HOW TO BE SECURE ON WWW!

​To be Secured on the world wide web(www), you need a little knowledge of http and https.


What is HTTP?

HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol


The difference between http and https is the ' s' which means Secured.

When you visit a website or web page, and see "http://..." this means the website/browser is using the regular

‘unsecured’ language.

Which means it is possible for someone to spy on your computer’s conversation with the website. And such may obtain vital and valid information in the case of filling a form on such.


But if the web address begins with " https://... "

This means your computer is interacting with the website in a secure code that no one can spy on.

Be sure to double check the website before inputting your vital information.
