encrypted transmission. Supports a URL that only starts with “HTTPS:”
-- HTTP&HTTPS: Supports both HTTP and HTTPS simultaneously. You can access the

NOTES
- To ensure security on the internet, all web browsers provide several security levels that can be
adjusted for site that use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to transfer data. SSL encrypts
communications, making it difficult for unauthorized users to intercept and view user names and
passwords.
