[PF:171334] Difference between http and https-- GREAT information!

: 

http and https-- GREAT information!   http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/https.asp   TRUE!   Once in a while, there is something that comes down  the pike that is of real importance.   What is the difference between http and https?           Don't know how many of you are aware of this  difference, but it is worth sending to any who do not.   The main difference between http:/// and https:// is  it's  all about keeping you secure.   HTTP stands for  Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.            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.     If  a website ever asks you to enter your credit  card  information, you should automatically look to see if the  web address begins with https://.             If it doesn't, you should NEVER enter sensitive information... ....such as a credit card number, SS #, etc.                                      PASS  IT ON  (You may save someone a lot of grief)
