HTTPSkapcsolat

HTTPSkapcsolat refers to a secure connection established using the HTTPS protocol. HTTPS, which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, is a secure version of HTTP, the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web. The 'S' in HTTPS denotes that the connection is secured using encryption. This encryption is typically provided by TLS (Transport Layer Security) or its predecessor, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).

When a user's browser connects to a website using HTTPS, a secure handshake occurs between the browser and the web server. This handshake involves the server presenting its digital certificate, which is verified by the browser. If the certificate is valid, the browser and server agree on encryption methods and exchange a session key. This session key is then used to encrypt all subsequent data transmitted between the two.

The primary benefits of an HTTPSkapcsolat are confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. Confidentiality ensures that the data exchanged between the user and the website cannot be read by unauthorized parties. Integrity guarantees that the data has not been tampered with during transmission. Authentication verifies the identity of the website, ensuring that the user is communicating with the legitimate server and not an imposter. Websites that handle sensitive information, such as online banking portals, e-commerce sites, and email services, commonly use HTTPS to protect user data. Browsers typically indicate a secure HTTPS connection with a padlock icon in the address bar.
