In HTTP protocol, the data is transferred between the site server and the browser as plain text. So, it is easy for anyone to read your data.
By installing an SSL Certificate on a website server, one can migrate from a non-secure ‘HTTP’ protocol to the secure ‘HTTPS’ protocol.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a protocol used for secure communication on the World Wide Web. With the help of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), we can add a layer of security to the standard HTTP connection. It encrypts all the available data or communication between the server and the browser.
Websites that consist of sensitive data like credit card details and personal information use HTTPS instead of HTTP. An HTTPS connection offers the following benefits:
* Data Integrity
* Website Authentication
* Data Encryption
