| A secure web site is a type of web server that is capable of communicating over the internet with a web browser in a secure manner. Normally, the contents of any HTML document, image file, or HTML form, including possibly usernames and passwords, are transmitted over the internet as clear text with no authentication required by the user. A secure web server allows for a safer connection to the browser by establishing a trust between the client and the server in which all communication between the two is encrypted to prevent eavesdropping. |
