Why HTTPS is More Secure than HTTP

Why HTTPS is More Secure than HTTP

Introduction to HTTP Protocol The HTTP protocol is a text-based transmission protocol that operates at the application layer of the OSI network model. The HTTP protocol communicates through request-response interactions between clients and servers. The protocol has been split from the previous RFC 2616 into six separate protocol specifications (RFC 7230, RFC 7231, RFC 7232, … Read more
