    Question

    What does 's' stand for in https?

    A.

    Secure

    B.

    Security

    C.

    Stream

    D.

    Space

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (a) Secure
    Explanation:
    ● HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure.
    ● The 's' indicates that the website has an SSL/TLS certificate, encrypting the data sent between the browser and server.
    ● This encryption protects sensitive information like passwords and credit card numbers from being intercepted.
    Information Booster:
    ● A padlock icon in the address bar usually represents an HTTPS connection.
    ● Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal for search engine optimization (SEO).
    ● Standard HTTP sends data in plain text, which is less secure.
    Additional Knowledge:
    ● SSL – Secure Sockets Layer, the predecessor to TLS (Transport Layer Security).
