What is http?

The Internet browser transmits the information to the servers Internet unencrypted via a protocol called HTTP, an acronym Hyper's Text Transfer Protocol, which is the main protocol for data transmission over the Internet sites and a utility that allows you to transfer information from your personal computer via browsers.

What is the https?

Https is the acronym for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, a combination of the http protocol and protocol of SSL / TLS, which creates a secure and encrypted channel between the user and the Internet server.
Using this protocol, the transfer of all the data emerging from your apparatus is encrypted to be decrypted in the Internet server, and the server encrypts the data before sending it to you for the protocol, then remove the encryption.

This is most commonly used protocol is in sites that contain reliable data recording such as sites (google, gmail, paypal, facebook, twitter and a long list ...).

And from the http and https are a textual data transfer protocols, the difference is that https provides data protection, while http lacks protection.
