In this "streaking" online world, all transmitted data, including personal information, email passwords, bank accounts and other confidential data are virtually "streaking", which makes it easy for "bad guys" to steal. We all know that HTTPS can encrypt information to prevent sensitive information from being accessed by third parties. So many enterprises and webmasters will use HTTPS encryption protocol; what on earth is https? How is https encrypted? How does https ensure the security of customer information?

What is the HTTPS encryption protocol?

Usually the web pages we open are HTTP, that is, plaintext. It is very insecure to use HTTP protocol to transmit private information. In order to ensure that these private data can be encrypted and transmitted, we encrypt the data transmitted by HTTP protocol, thus giving birth to HTTPS.

HTTPS encryption protocol is a protocol that we use when browsing the web; plaintext is encrypted into ciphertext and passed between the client and the server. That is, add the SSL layer under HTTP, and the security foundation of HTTPS is SSL.

How is HTTPS encrypted?

The method of HTTPS encryption is very simple, that is, both the client and the server have two keys, one key is public, we call it the public key, and the other key is secret, which we call the private key. Moreover, only the corresponding private key can decrypt the data encrypted with the public key, and only the corresponding public key can decrypt the data encrypted with the private key.

In this way, in the process of transmitting data to the client, the server can encrypt it with the public key given to him in the plaintext of the client, and then decrypt it with its own private key after receiving it. The client also uses the same way when sending data to the server. In this way, the secure transmission of data can be maintained. Draw a picture to understand:

For example, on a shopping platform, enter:

Account number: Mary

Password: 02365mhfe

This data was intercepted and stolen by a hacker, and the data obtained by the hacker may be like this:

Account number: ni... % # h728 dollars @ ¥* &

Password: @ ¥% JFJ^ # * ^ _ + j

Without HTTP encryption, data may be hijacked after being forwarded countless times, and hacker data may be hijacked and tampered with, such as iPhone being brushed for no reason.

However, after HTTP encryption, the information obtained by hackers becomes a pile of garbled code, and it takes dozens of days or even more time to crack the garbled code, so it is impossible to tamper with the data.

What is the purpose of the HTTPS encryption protocol?

The HTTPS encryption protocol has the following main functions:

(1) authenticate the identity of the website and beware of website theft

(2) ensure the integrity of the data, and hackers cannot tamper with it.

(3) all messages are encrypted and cannot be eavesdropped by a third party.

(4) enhance the company's image and expand the company's credibility.

(5) improve the SEO ranking of websites

(6) increase the transaction volume of the website

When browsing the web, the URL bar changes from Http:// to Https://, which means that after the website uses the HTTPS encryption protocol, the transmitted data is encrypted to ensure the security of data transmission.

How does https ensure the security of customer information?

Through the above, we already know that HTTPS is to authenticate the website on the basis of HTTP transport protocol to protect customer information from theft, tampering or disclosure. The traditional HTTP plaintext protocol has been unable to meet the security needs of the modern Internet, such as traffic hijacking, malware injection, data tampering, identity spoofing, and many other problems; if the website does not install HTTPS encryption, there is no way to protect customer information security, standing in the protection of customer interests and user experience, the website does not install HTTPS encryption enterprises or webmasters should install one?

Gworg (www.gworg.com) has a trust SSL institution certificate worldwide, which can encrypt data transferred between servers and terminals, servers and servers, protect data confidentiality and verify data integrity, prevent data from being stolen or tampered with, and enhance the ability of websites to prevent tampering, hijacking and disclosure.
