HTTP aur HTTPS dono internet par data ko transmit karne ke liye use hone wale protocols (anuprayog) hain. In dono mein kuch mukhya antar hain:
1. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): Ye ek simple protocol hai jo web browsers aur web servers ke beech data transfer ke liye istemal hota hai. HTTP ka istemal information ko client (aam taur par web browser) se server tak bhejne aur wapas server se client tak bhejne ke liye hota hai. Lekin, isme data ko secure tareeke se bhejne ki koi suraksha nahi hoti hai, isliye sensitive data jaise ki credit card numbers, passwords, aur personal information ka transfer HTTP ke through insecure ho sakta hai.
2. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure): HTTPS bhi HTTP ka ek prakar hai, lekin isme ek suraksha layer hota hai. Isme data ko encrypt karke bheja jata hai, jisse koi third party data ko dekhne ya modify karne se bacha ja sakta hai. Isme SSL (Secure Socket Layer) ya TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption ka istemal hota hai, jo sensitive data ko secure tareeke se transfer karne mein madadgar hota hai. Aksar, sensitive information jaise ki bank transactions aur online shopping HTTPS ke through kiya jata hai.
Kuch mukhya antar HTTP aur HTTPS mein yeh hain:
- Security: HTTPS secure hota hai, jabki HTTP nahi. Isme data ki suraksha ka ek adhikar layer hota hai.
- URL: HTTPS URLs "https://" ke saath shuru hote hain, jabki HTTP URLs "http://" ke saath shuru hote hain.
- Port: HTTP ka default port 80 hota hai, jabki HTTPS ka default port 443 hota hai.
- Certificate: HTTPS mein ek SSL/TLS certificate hota hai, jo server ki pahchan aur data ki encryption ke liye hota hai.
Aajkal, web browsers HTTP sites ko "Not Secure" ya "Insecure" batakar highlight karte hain, aur users ko HTTPS sites par jana recommend karte hain, khaaskar jab sensitive information ko enter karna hota hai. Isse user data ki suraksha aur privacy badh jati hai.
