HTTP Vs HTTPS

Hey, It's Me, Arshad Aman, back again and today we are going to discuss, about two most common issue HTTP Vs HTTPS and we will see which is faster and why so. So, Let's get's started

HTTP vs HTTPS IN THEIR FUNCTION

HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol and HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure.


In HTTP connection there happen no encryption and decryption and the data packets go as they are in the normal form and in this there is a suspicion that your data can be stolen by the hackers by the Man in the Middle Attack but in case of an HTTPS connection there is encryption and decryption by which the data packets are converted to machine language or to hashes by which it is not understandable to human beings and can only be decrypted by using a private key, so in this case there is not a chance by which data can be stolen in the middle.

( Note:- HTTPS connection can be converted to HTTP connection by SSL Striping ).

In HTTPS there are two types of security involve which are:-
  • SSL ( Secure Socket Layer):- This is a secure protocol which helps to make a secure connection between the client and the server over a network such as an internet.
  • TLS ( Transport Layer Security):- This is the Successor of SSL and this has the same work as of SSL  which provides a secure connection between the client and the server over the network. Both work in Cryptographic Manner ( Where encryption and decryption take place ).
It is almost impossible to steal data from this type of connection but by converting it to HTTP connection by SSL stripping, the secure protocol vanishes and it became very easy to steal data packets. Mostly this happens when you are redirected to an HTTPS site through an HTTP site. For example, if www.sunshiners2k18.ml redirects you to www.facebook.com, then Facebook will have an HTTP connection and you will not see that green padlock in the address bar if hacker will do SSL stripping while redirecting to facebook.


HTTP Vs HTTPS. Which is Faster

If you will compare HTTP and HTTPS website then the website having HTTP protocol will load a little bit faster as compared to HTTPS website as in HTTPS website, encryption, and decryption occurs which makes the loading slower. But it is not noticeable as the data transfer is very low. If GBs of the same type of data is being transferred using the same network with one having HTTPS protocol and other having HTTP protocol, then you can notice that HTTP website will load faster then HTTPS website. But in some cases, HTTPS will serve faster than HTTP due to advance technology. So, Here in HTTP vs HTTPS, HTTPS is our winner because it provides security, but in speed, HTTP wins as no extra feature is there.
