HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)

HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). CleverBooks website is secured with the HTTPS certificate. The principal motivations for HTTPS are authentication of the accessed website, protection of the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data while in transit. It protects against man-in-the-middle attacks. The bidirectional encryption of communications between a client and server protects against eavesdropping and tampering of the communication,.In practice, this provides a reasonable assurance that one is communicating without interference by attackers with the website that one intended to communicate with, as opposed to an impostor.

The authentication aspect of HTTPS requires a trusted third party to sign server side digital certificates. HTTPS is now used more often by web users than the original non-secure HTTP, primarily to protect page authenticity on all types of websites; secure accounts; and to keep private user communications, identity, and web browsing.This will become especially important in year 2 when the forum (including user accounts and user generated content) will be integrated in the website.

CleverBooks also uses SSL certificate
