HTTPS as the standard configuration of ** production is already the general trend. First of all, let's talk about the relationship between SSL and HTTPS, SSL is a server security certificate, and only ** with SSL certificate installed can use HTTPS to access. Different SSL certificates show different HTTPS site statuses, and theoretically the more expensive the SSL security certificate, the more secure it will be, and of course it will also be affected by the brand awareness of SSL. For ordinary users, the direct visual feeling of https is that a small green lock is added in front of the website, which means that the SSL security certificate is installed on the server, and the communication between you and the site is securely encrypted.
Friends who often use 360 browser will find that in the past, that is, the ordinary http site, a small gray lock is now displayed and a cross is played, prompting "The connection you have established with this ** is not secure", the reason is that the SSL certificate is not installed on the server side.
So, what are the advantages of https**?
1. Effective identity verification
After the SSL certificate is deployed, you can verify the SSL certificate information in HTTPS to confirm the real identity of the user, enhance the user's identification of the correct information, and prevent the user from being deceived by clicking on the fake one.
2. Encrypted data transmission
After the SSL certificate is deployed, SSL is used to encrypt and decrypt the transmitted data by 128 or 256-bit security encryption to ensure the security of the data during transmission and ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the data.
3. Ensure the integrity of the data
After the SSL certificate is deployed, HTTPS is a network protocol built by the SSL+HTTP protocol that can be used for encrypted transmission and identity authentication, which is more secure than the HTTP protocol, which can prevent data from being stolen or changed during transmission and ensure the integrity of data.
4. Avoid man-in-the-middle attacks
HTTPS is the most secure solution to protect network security, although it is not absolutely secure, but after SSL layer encryption, due to the cumbersome decryption project, man-in-the-middle attacks are avoided to the greatest extent.
5. Improve SEO rankings
HTTPS also plays a huge role in SEO inclusion rankings, not only does HTTPS not affect inclusion, but also gets better SEO inclusion rankings. For example, Google, etc. will give a higher ranking to the highest level of SSL certificate installation, which shows that regardless of whether network security is relied on, HTTPS is very important for enterprises, and the popularity of HTTPS has become an inevitable trend.
In fact, the biggest advantage of HTTPS protocol and SSL certificate is that SSL authentication is data security, avoiding the risk of information leakage, and reducing the probability of being hijacked. At the same time, after the SSL certificate is enabled, the status of the certificate will be checked in real time, and the identity authentication information will be displayed to the user by displaying the security lock, green address bar, certificate information, etc. on the browser, so as to gain the trust of the user.
