The journey of HTTP began in the late 1980s when Tim Berners-Lee developed the World Wide Web. HTTP version 0.9 was introduced in 1991, followed by HTTP/1.0 in 1996 and HTTP/1.1 in 1997. These iterations focused on improving efficiency and scalability but did not address security concerns.
The Emergence of HTTPS
HTTPS was first introduced in the mid-1990s as a solution to the growing need for secure data transmission. It utilizes SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and later TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols to encrypt data. Over the years, HTTPS has become the standard for secure communication on the web, driven by increasing awareness of cyber threats and the need for user trust.
