HTTPS is a secure version of HTTP designed to provide Transport Layer Security (TLS) [the successor to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)], the padlock icon in the address bar that establishes an encrypted connection between a web server and a browser. HTTPS encrypts every data packet to transmit in a secure way and protects sensitive data from an eavesdropper or hacker.
You can implement HTTPS by installing the SSL certificates on your web application. You can use either certificate issued by trusted Certificate Authorities (CA) or Self-Signed Certificate.
