What is the secure version of HTTP?

The secure version of HTTP is called HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure). It uses encryption protocols, primarily SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security), to protect the data exchanged between a user's browser and a web server. This ensures confidentiality, integrity, and authentication, making it essential for secure online transactions and protecting sensitive information. Websites using HTTPS are typically indicated by a padlock icon in the browser's address bar.
