HTTPS encrypts data using SSL/TLS, preventing third parties from interpreting the information, and ensuring data security during transmission.
HTTP is unencrypted, transmitting data in plaintext. Interceptors can easily access sensitive information like passwords and banking details.
HTTPS uses digital certificates for authentication, confirming that users access legitimate websites through SSL certificates issued by trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs).
HTTP lacks authentication, making it hard for users to verify the website's trustworthiness, increasing the risk of Man-in-the-Middle Attacks.
HTTPS ensures data integrity through hashing algorithms, discarding any modified data during transmission.
Data sent via HTTP can be tampered with without user awareness, allowing attackers to modify content.
Search engines like Google prioritize HTTPS, leading to better rankings, while modern browsers warn users about HTTP sites as 'Not Secure.'
HTTP sites have lower security, resulting in lower search engine rankings.
