HTTPS
Domain: Computer Systems
🎯 Motivation
HTTP Secure - HTTP encrypted with TLS. Prevents eavesdropping. Used for all modern web traffic.
📋 Concrete Example
HTTPS: your request is encrypted before sending. Only the server can decrypt it. Someone listening on the network sees gibberish. Your password is safe.
🔗 Analogy
HTTPS is like sending a letter in a locked safe - only you and the recipient have the key. Anyone who intercepts it sees a locked box, not the letter. HTTPS encrypts web traffic.
