In a URL, what distinguishes HTTPS from HTTP?

Asked by fritylaine9746

Answer (1)

The main difference in a URL is the protocol partHTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol.HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure.What distinguishes them is that HTTPS uses encryption (SSL/TLS) to secure the data transferred between your browser and the website, while HTTP does not. This makes HTTPS much safer for transmitting sensitive info like passwords, credit card numbers, etc.So in a URL:http://example.com is unsecured.https://example.com is secured with encryption.
