Hypertext[1] Secure Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It is used for secure communication over computer networks, and is widely used on the Internet.[2] Within HTTPS, communication protocols are encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or, formerly, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Therefore, it is also referred to as HTTP over TLS,[3] or HTTP over SSL.

The main motivations for HTTPS are the authentication of the websites accessed, and the protection of privacy and integrity of the data exchanged while in the process. It protects against man-in-the-middle attacks, and two-way communication encryption between client and server protects communication against eavesdropping and interference.[4] In practice, it provides reasonable assurance that one is communicating with the intended website without interference from the attacker.

The HTTPS authentication aspect requires a trusted third party to sign a server-side digital certificate. This has historically been an expensive operation, meaning fully authenticated HTTPS connections are typically only found on secure payment transaction services and other secure enterprise information systems on the World Wide Web. In 2016, a campaign by the Electronic Frontier Foundation with the support of web browser developers led to the protocol becoming more prevalent.[5]Hypertext[1] Secure Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
