Can you discuss HTTP and HTTPS protocols and describe how they differ from each other?

When answering a question about a specific standard protocol, you should first define it and then discuss its use. It will help if you have researched the organization to understand which standards and protocols they use. This information should be available in the job posting, the company's website, and through discussions you can have with previous and current network architects employed by the organization.

"HTTP, which stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol, defines the standards on how the information is transmitted across the internet. It ensures that web browsers and web servers can communicate effectively and understand the commands issued by the hardware and software used by networks. This is a 'stateless protocol,' so each command acts independently. HTTP resides in the application layer of the TCP/IP model.
HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, also known as Secure HTTP. As designated in the name, this is a secured version of HTTP. HTTPS uses SSL/TLS protocol on top of HTTP to provide additional security by encrypting communications and identifying secure network servers."
