httpsesimerkki is a term used in Finnish digital literacy and technical documentation to denote an example of an HTTPS URL or usage in instructional material. It does not refer to a distinct protocol, but serves as a placeholder for demonstrating secure web communication in teaching contexts.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP. It adds encryption and integrity through Transport Layer Security (TLS), providing confidentiality, data integrity, and server authentication. Connections typically use port 443. During the TLS handshake, the server presents a certificate from a trusted certificate authority, enabling the client to verify the server’s identity and establish encrypted session keys for subsequent data exchange.

In tutorials and documentation, an httpsesimerkki often uses the canonical URL https://example.com to illustrate accessing a secure resource. The example domain is reserved for documentation and will deliver neutral content. Students are taught that a secure page should load resources securely to avoid mixed content, as modern browsers enforce restrictions to preserve confidentiality and integrity.

Security best practices associated with HTTPS include supporting TLS 1.2 or 1.3, preferring modern cipher suites, and enabling forward secrecy. Additional recommendations include enabling HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), keeping certificates up to date, and using mechanisms like OCSP stapling and certificate transparency. These practices help prevent certain attacks and improve trust in the connection.

Limitations of an httpsesimerkki exist: it demonstrates secure transport, not server-side security or application logic. The overall security of a web interaction depends on proper certificate management, key protection, secure coding, and user practices beyond the transport layer.
