Difference Between Http and Https

Many of us may be aware of this difference but it is worth sharing for those that are not aware.

 The  main difference between http:// and https:// is  all about keeping you secured.

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 is likely to 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 enter your credit card  number in an http website! But if the web address begins with https://, that 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/Debit 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/debit card number.
