HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an extension of the [Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)]. It is used for secure communication over a computer network, and is widely used on the [internet]. In HTTPS, the [communication protocol] is encrypted using [Transport Layer Security (TLS)] or, formerly, [Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)]. The protocol is therefore also referred to as HTTP over TLS, or HTTP over SSL. - Wikipedia
