I've never understood what the difference is though. I know https is secure browsing, but what does that mean in terms of what can/can't be done?HTTPS is a protocol which creates a kind of tunnel between your computer and the server.
When your browser is using HTTP, all of the data (everything you see on the page plus some more behind the scenes) being sent and received is done in plain text. So if the server sends a message to your browser saying "Hello", it actually gets transmitted as "Hello". This is the reason HTTP is insecure as a network protocol.
When your browser uses HTTPS, that "Hello" message gets encrypted into cipher text, which is unreadable garbage/gibberish, which is then transmitted along the network path (within a packet, frame, or as bits) to the server where it is decrypted back to "Hello".
Due to HTTPS providing this kind of connection, it's useful in situations where personal details, banking information, login information, etc... needs to be transmitted to a remote location across an insecure medium (The Internet).
Does it cost any extra resources server side to maintain a Secure encrypted connection or is that minimal effort.
