HTTPSanslutning

HTTPSanslutning is a Swedish term that translates to HTTPS connection. It refers to the secure version of HTTP, the protocol used for transferring data on the World Wide Web. When a website uses HTTPS, the communication between your web browser and the website's server is encrypted. This encryption ensures that any data exchanged, such as login credentials, credit card numbers, or personal information, is protected from unauthorized access and tampering.

The "S" in HTTPS stands for "Secure." This security is achieved through the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). These cryptographic protocols create a secure channel over a computer network. Browsers typically indicate a secure HTTPS connection by displaying a padlock icon in the address bar, often accompanied by the website's domain name. Clicking on this icon usually reveals details about the website's security certificate, verifying its authenticity.

The widespread adoption of HTTPSanslutning has become a standard practice for websites, especially those handling sensitive user data. It is crucial for user privacy and trust, and it also plays a role in search engine optimization, as search engines often prioritize secure websites. Ensuring a website uses HTTPSanslutning is a fundamental step in protecting your online security and privacy.
