HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol. It is the foundation of data communication in World Wide Web. It is an Application Layer procol which uses TCP port 80.

HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure. It consists of communication over HTTP within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS).  TLS is also an Application Layer protocol. HTTPS uses TCP port 443.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a system for transmitting and receiving information across the Internet. HTTP serves as a request and response procedure that all agents on the Internet follow so that information can be rapidly, easily, and accurately disseminated between servers, which hold information, and clients, who are trying to access it. HTTP is commonly used to access html pages, but other resources can be utilized as well through HTTP. In many cases, clients may be exchanging confidential information with a server, which needs to be secured in order to prevent unauthorized access. For this reason, HTTPS, or secure HTTP, was developed by Netscape corporation to allow authorization and secured transactions.

Difference between HTTP and HTTPS

1)      In case of HTTP URL begins with “HTTP://” and for HTTPS connection it is “HTTPS://”

2)      HTTP is unsecured on other hand HTTPS is secured.

3)      HTTP uses port for communication unlike HTTPS which uses port

4)      No certificates required for validation in case of HTTP. HTTPS requires SSL Digital Certificate

5) No encryption in HTTP; Data encrypted before sending and receiving in HTTPS.

Hope this has cleared the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. If you have any questions or observations to make, please do comment.
