PLEASE READ THIS, IT'S VERY INFORMATIVE AND EDUCATIONAL.
*you never ever enter your credit Card number in an http website!*
*But if the web address begins with https://, that basically means your
computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can
eavesdrop on.*
What is the difference between *http and https.*
Maybe you already knew this, but I thought it was
Important enough to send even if you already know.
FIRST, MANY PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE OF
The main difference between *http:// and https:// is.*
It's all about keeping you secure.
*HTTP** stands for HyperText Transport Protocol.*
Which is just a fancy way of saying it's a Protocol (a language, in a manner
of speaking)
For information to be passed back and forth Between web servers and clients.
The important thing is the letter S which makes the difference between HTTP
and HTTPS.
The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure".
If you visit a website or web page, and look at the address in the web
browser, it will likely begin with the following:
* http://.*
This means that the website is talking to your Browser using the
regular* '*unsecured
language.
In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's
conversation with the website.
If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you
send to that site.
This is why you never ever enter your credit Card number in an http website!
But if the web address begins with *https://,* that basically means your
computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can
eavesdrop on.
You understand why this is so important,
right?
If a website ever asks you to enter your credit Card information, you should
automatically look to see if the web address begins with *http**s**://.*
If it doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter Sensitive information
like a credit card number.
*PASS IT ON (You may save someone a lot of
grief).*
