HTTPS

TTPS, which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, is a secure version of the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) used for secure communication over the internet. It provides a secure and encrypted connection between a client (such as a web browser) and a server (such as a web server) to protect sensitive data and ensure the privacy and integrity of information exchanged during communication. HTTPS uses a combination of the HTTP protocol and the SSL/TLS (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security) protocol to establish a secure encrypted connection.
