HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is an encrypted version of HTTP that provides security 🔒, authentication 🤴, and data integrity ✅ for web communications. Below are key features and use cases:
🔑 Core Features
- Transport Layer Security (TLS): Encrypts data between client and server
- SSL/TLS Certificates: Verifies server identity through digital signatures
- Secure Cookies: Protects user session data with encryption
- End-to-End Security: Prevents man-in-the-middle attacks 🛑
🧩 Typical Use Cases
- Online Banking 💳
- E-commerce Platforms 🛍️
- User Authentication 👤
- Private Data Transmission 📁

⚠️ Note: Always ensure your server supports modern TLS versions (e.g., TLS 1.3) for optimal security.
