HTTPS as a growing alternative for cybersecurity and digital privacy

Session

Computer Science and Communication Engineering

Description

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) extension that introduces additional mechanisms to provide for more secure communications over an unreliable network, such as the Internet. Due to an increasing number of https adopters - on the one hand, and the encouragement of large companies to use https - on the other hand, reports now indicate that about 80% of the Internet traffic is encrypted using HTTPS mechanisms or, more precisely, the underlying architecture mechanisms that are consisted of the TLS suite of cryptographic protocols. The operational problems and the many questions that have arisen precisely because of the mass adoption of this technology will be addressed by analyzing the components of the HTTPS architecture.

Keywords:

HTTPS, TLS, HTTP, Web Security.
