httpsKey

httpsKey refers to a cryptographic key used in the context of secure communication protocols, primarily HTTPS. HTTPS, which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, encrypts the communication between a web browser and a web server. This encryption is achieved through the use of public-key cryptography. A website's server possesses a pair of keys: a public key and a private key. The public key is widely distributed and is used to encrypt data that is intended for the server. Conversely, the private key is kept secret by the server and is used to decrypt the data that has been encrypted by the public key. When a browser connects to an HTTPS website, it receives the server's public key. This public key is then used to establish a secure, encrypted channel for transmitting sensitive information such as login credentials or payment details. The "key" in httpsKey broadly refers to these cryptographic keys that enable the secure exchange of data over the internet, ensuring confidentiality and integrity of the information being transmitted.
