6.1.3. HTTPS

HTTPS: Stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure

HTTPS is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol with the SSL/TLS protocol to
provide encrypted communication and secure identification of a network web server. HTTPS
connections are often used for sensitive transactions in corporate information systems. The
main idea of HTTPS is to create a secure channel over an insecure network. This ensures
reasonable protection from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks, provided that

is like his phone number. On the Internet we have IP numbers for each host (computer, server,
router and so on), and we replace these IP numbers to easy remember names, which are
organized into the domain name. As to xDSL environment, most of the users will use dynamic
IP addresses. If users want to set up a web or an FTP server, then the Dynamic Domain Name
Server is necessary. For more DDNS configuration, please consult your dealer.

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you with at least one IP address which you use
to connect to the Internet. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or
dynamic, meaning it’s likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes, depends on your
