HTTPS

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) ni itifaki ya mawasiliano salama kwenye mtandao wa intaneti. Inatumiwa kuhamisha data kati ya kivinjari cha mtumiaji na seva, huku ikilinda taarifa dhidi ya udukuzi na udukuzi wa kati ya njia (man-in-the-middle attacks).Rescorla, E.

 Historia 
HTTPS ilianzishwa mwishoni mwa miaka ya 1990 kupitia matumizi ya SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), na baadaye kubadilishwa na TLS (Transport Layer Security) ambayo ni salama zaidi.Dierks, T. The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol. Internet Engineering Task Force, 2008

 Umuhimu 
Matumizi ya HTTPS yanahakikisha usiri wa taarifa, uhalisia wa tovuti, na uadilifu wa data. Tovuti nyingi kubwa kama benki na mitandao ya kijamii zimehamia HTTPS kama kiwango cha lazima.Ferguson, N. Cryptography Engineering: Design Principles and Practical Applications. New York: Wiley, 2010

 Matumizi ya Kisasa 
Kwa sasa, HTTPS imekuwa chaguo la msingi katika tovuti nyingi duniani, ikihusishwa na viwango vya HTTP/2 na HTTP/3 ili kuongeza kasi na ufanisi wa mawasiliano.Langley, A. The QUIC Transport Protocol: Design and Internet-Scale Deployment. ACM SIGCOMM, 2017
