Hi,

Please find the answer below:

---------------------------------------------

There are many methods to enhance digital security. Let’s take the example of using HTTPS communication protocol to secure the website traffic from client to the server.

HTTPS stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure. Data sent on HTTPS is secured and transferred via TLS (Transport Layer Security) in encrypted format on default port 443. The default communication happens with HTTP on port 80. This communication is not secure and susceptible to eavesdropping and man-in-middle attacks.

To implement HTTPS, the website owner obtains a security certificate from trusted certificate authority. This can be done by a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) with details of the domain name, common name, organization details etc.

Upon buying the digital security certificate the website owner can activate and install the certificate on the website.

Expose the HTTPS URLs on the web server.

When a user visits the HTTPS URL, the user’s browser sends a request to the web server to identify. The server sends the certificate. The browser then checks the certificate as part of the handshaking process.

Once the handshaking is completed, secure encrypted data is shared.

Hope this helps.
