    SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a standard security technology to create an encrypted link between a server and a client. This link ensures that all data passed between the server and the client remain private and secure. It was designed to support protocols such as FTP, HTTP, TELNET.

    Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) or “HTTP Secure,” is an application specific implementation that is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with the SSL/TLS. HTTPS is used to provide encrypted communication and secure identification of a server, so that no middle man can intercept the data easily.

    As everything in HTTP is in plain text (or encoded) , it is used with SSL/TLS to encrypt it.
