http vs https (4 fb security)

HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it's a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients.

You really don't need to know what it all stands for; the important thing is the letter S which makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure". You probably didn't need me to tell you that, because you already knew it had something to do with security.

If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://. This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecure' language. In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site.

[This is why you never ever ever enter your credit card number in an http website!]

But if the web address begins with https://, that basically means your computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.

You understand why this is so important, right? If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter sensitive information like a credit card number!

It should be pointed out that just because a website has that magic "S" in its address, that does not mean it is wise to do business with them; even scam artists can have https sites! It simply means that no outsiders can eavesdrop on your conversation...doesn't mean you should be having the conversation in the first place. Only do business with reputable firms, or firms you have thoroughly checked out!

Facebook blogged about providing HTTPS. HTTPS is a secure connection that encrypts data that is sent from your browser which then makes it ‘private’. When you pay for goods or services online or use an online bank you should always see HTTPS when inserting your personal and financial information. You may also have seen a small “padlock” or noticed the address bar has turned green which indicates you are using HTTPS.

Facebook will be giving it’s users the “option” to use Facebook entirely over HTTPS over the coming weeks. It will be a slow rollout, so you’ll need to check your account periodically to see if you have this option.

How to setup HTTPS and monitor your Facebook account activity:

Click on Account (top right)
Scroll down the page and click “Account security”
Check the “Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible” box
Check the “Send me an email” box*
Click the SAVE button
*This function allows you to see if someone else has used your account from another mobile device or location. A very useful function.
