See Secure HTTP (HTTPS).

Secure Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol using SSL.

HTTP (see above) that uses security called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).

A term for using SSL (short for Secure Sockets Layer) over the HTTP protocol. SSL is a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that's transferred over the SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:.

A type of server software which provides the ability for "secure" transactions to take place on the World Wide Web. If a Web site is running off a HTTPS server you can type in HTTPS instead of HTTP in the URL section of your browser to enter into the "secured mode". Windows NT HTTPS and Netscape Commerce server software support this protocol. SEE ALSO: proxy server, secure server and commerce server.

A new implementation of the HTTP protocol that provides for more secure web communications by including encryption methods.

The Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (Secure) serves, like HTTP to exchange HTML files, but it encrypts the files before transferring them.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Server³¬Îı3/4

This is a protocol which enables the secure transmission of web pages.

Secure HTTP. Where security in the form of SSL is superimposed on top of HTTP on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Although the little padlock icon in your browser is the only reliable indication of SSL security, seeing https:// in the address bar indicates that a secure SSL connection to the Web page was attempted.

HTTPS is a web protocol used by browsers and web servers to encrypt and decrypt user page requests and the pages returned by the server. The encrypted exchange of information is governed by the use of an HTTPS certificate (issued by a Certificate Authority), which guarantees the authenticity of the server.

A secure and encrypted version of the HyperText Transfer Protocol. This protocol is typically used for transmitting sensitive information related to an account, such a monetary information and account information, across a network.

Secure Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Protocol used to request and securely transfer HTML documents of other information across a network, such as the Internet. HTTPS uses a system of digital certificates to ensure the security and authenticity of information transmitted. more information

https is a URI scheme equivalent to the http scheme, originally intended to be used with the HTTP protocol, but with added encryption layer. The URI structure is the same, except that URIs begins with "https:" rather than "http:". The scheme was invented by Netscape Communications Corporation to provide authentication and encrypted communication and is widely used on Web for security-sensitive communication, such as payment transactions.

A variant of HTTP for handling secure transactions. Browsers that support the URL access method, "https", connect to HTTP servers using SSL. "https" is a unique protocol that is simply SSL underneath HTTP. Use "https://" for HTTP URLs with SSL and "http://" for HTTP URLs without SSL. The default "https" port number is 443.

HTTP Secure. The first public implementation of HTTP over SSL, released in version 2 of Netscape Navigator in 1995. Finally documented in RFC 2818. Different from SHTTP.

HTTPS is the internet protocol used for secure servers and you will see the http:// change to https:// when you are on a secure site. The protocol ensures a secure connection and is usually used by e-commerce sites where credit card transactions are required or personal data is exchanged. Leaping Hare can of course provide you with a secure server for your internet trading.
