the difference between *http* and *https*?

Some of you may be aware of this difference.

The *main* difference between *http://* and *https://* 

is all about *SECURITY* 

*HTTP* stands for *Hyper Text Transfer Protocol*. 

The *S* stands for *"Secure"*. 

If you visit a Website or web page, and look at the address in the web browser and it begins with the following: *http://*

This means that the website is talking to your browser using 

the regular unsecured language. In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer or smart phone's  conversation with the Website. 

If you fill out any form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site. 

This is why you should *NEVER* enter your credit card number or any other personal/business information in an 

Http website! 

But if the web address begins with https://, that means your computer is talking to the website in a 

Secure code that none can eavesdrop on. 

Now, you understand why this is so important.

If a website ever asks you to enter your Credit/Debit card or any other  Information, or promises a 'Free Gift', you should first check to see if the web 

address begins with *https://*. 

If it doesn't, you should *NEVER* enter sensitive Information such as a credit/debit card number, location, date of birth, addresses etc

While checking the name of any website, first look for the domain extension *(.com or .org, .co, .in, .net etc).* The name just before the .com, .org etc is the domain name of the website. 

Example, *http://jumia.fifty-years- anniversaries.com*, the word before *.com* is *"jumia.fifty- years-anniversary"* (and NOT *"jumia"*). 

So, this webpage does not belong to *jumia.com* but rather belongs to *"fifty-years-anniversaries.com"*, which we all haven't heard of before.

You can similarly check for bank frauds.

Before your ebanking logins, make sure that the name just before *".com"* is the name of your bank. Example:  *"Mykemetal.Dfcubank.com"* belongs to Ecobank ; but, *Dfcubank.Mykemetal.com* belongs to "Mykemetal"
