More and more websites have adopted HTTPS. If you're careful enough, you'll notice that many of the Internet giants have upgraded their websites from HTTP to HTTPS. So how do you build an HTTPS website? Many people don't know much about it. In order to let everyone know more about HTTPS website, Xiaobian summarized the following contents for everyone and looked down together.

HTTPS is actually a secure network transport protocol, its emergence fills the security risks of the original HTTP protocol, it can be understood that HTTPS website is an upgraded version of HTTP website. So why isn't HTTP secure? This is due to HTTP's own data transfer mechanism.

HTTP uses plaintext data transmission, that is, the data transmission process from the browser to the Web server is not done with any data security measures. If the data is intercepted by a third party during this data transmission, then the content of the data will be fully captured by the interceptor. In today's highly developed era of the Internet, it is obvious that this insecurity of HTTP is fatal.

HTTPS is different. HTTPS adds an "S" to HTTP, which is "encryption". Before the browser sends data to the Web server, the browser uses the website's SSL Certificates to encrypt the data with the public key, and the encrypted data is transmitted over the network. Because the data is encrypted, even if someone else intercepts it in the process of transmission, the interceptor cannot decrypt the data because he cannot obtain the private key necessary for decryption, and the data is still safe. When the encrypted data arrives at the server, the server decrypts the data using the private key, and finally obtains the original data. This process of encrypting and decrypting data is at the heart of HTTPS.

How do I build an HTTPS website?

To set up HTTPS websites, you must deploy SSL Certificates on your Web server. SSL Certificates are issued by trusted CA institutions. Users need to apply to CA institutions, and CA institutions will issue SSL Certificates to users only after verification.

Generally speaking, CA authorities do not receive SSL Certificates directly from users. They entrust some agencies to receive certificate requests from users. You can search online and easily find many such SSL Certificates agencies and apply for SSL Certificates.

When applying for SSL Certificates, you need to provide relevant identity information and website domain name information of the enterprise, such as business license, corporate ID card, company telephone number, website domain name information, etc. CA institutions receive your application, your information will be strictly authenticated audit, audit will be issued to you after SSL Certificates. Generally speaking, the audit time is about 5-7 working days.

When you get SSL Certificates, you can install SSL Certificates for your website. Different Web server installation methods are different, you can search online, there are many tutorials on how to install SSL Certificates, you can also contact SSL Certificates Agency, they will have the corresponding technical personnel to assist you in certificate installation.

Once SSL Certificates are successfully installed, your website can be accessed using HTTPS.

The above is a brief introduction to how to build HTTPS websites, of course, the detailed use of the above differences have to be used by everyone to understand. If you want to know more, welcome to pay attention to the industry information channel!

SSL Certificates carry out security encryption on websites, which can effectively prevent hijacking, effectively prevent malicious advertisements from being implanted on your websites, prevent tampering and monitoring from leaking user passwords, and SSL Certificates have an optimized effect on SEO rankings of search engines.
