How is https different from http?

The "S" in HTTPS indicates a secure site. If you visit a web site or web page, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://. This means that the web site is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecured' language. In other If you fill out a form on the web site, someone might see the information you send to that site. This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an http web site! But if the web address begins with https://, your computer is talking to the web site in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.

If a web site ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter sensitive information like a credit card number!

is possible that even TLS/SSL encryption does not guarantee cryptographic

What was the original purpose of the internet?

The Internet, so powerful for sharing text, images, sounds and videos, is now weakest at doing that for which it was originally designed - exchanging raw data between researchers. Last month, the National Center for Data Mining at the University of Illinois at Chicago launched the first version of an infrastructure called Data Space Transfer Protocol, or DSTP, for creating the next generation web of data

The current Web provides an infrastructure for working with distributed multimedia documents, which are exchanged using the familiar "http," or Hypertext Transfer Protocol. But although a massive amount of data is available online, it is stored in so many different formats that it has become difficult, if not impossible, to analyze and use in research, says Georg Reinhart, visiting research scientist in mathematics, statistics, and computer science at UIC.

"Doctors, for example, often need to share information and data, but each doctor stores and uploads data in his or her own format," Reinhart said. "Astronomers, physicists and other researchers often face the same problem."

According to Reinhart, who developed DSTP with Emory Creel, a colleague at the National Center for Data Mining, the new transfer protocol will unify the way data is stored online. Downloading data from different sites via high-speed networks and analyzing the data in real-time will become possible for the first time.

"DSTP will standardize the way data is shared, the same way HTTP revolutionized the way documents are shared," Reinhart said. "Researchers will be able to search, analyze and mine databases simultaneously, even if the databases contain different types of data." Reinhart predicts DSTP will motivate more researchers to post data globally and lead to "an avalanche" of new and existing data accessible and useful to a wider audience.

Why is information that is found on the internet not always reliable?

Many people have access to the internet, so a lot of people put information up. People have different opinions on things, so they may put up different information on the same subject. Some people put up information believing it to be correct, but they are wrong. Some people deliberately put up misleading information. Sometimes information is missing some important components, so what is there is not completely accurate. So if you are looking for information, you should check a number of different sources to help get a good idea of what is actually correct.

How can you login to your work PC from your home PC?

Sorry, it simply can't be done, you would need some kind of large network that connect all the computers in the world through sockets. The only thing you could do would be to run a long Ethernet cable from your house to your work.

The above answer is neive and incorrect. Remote access is built into Windows Server products and many many companies allow you to remote desktop into your work computer from your home computer. Search for "routing and remote access windows server" from any search engine to receive documentation on how to configure this Windows Server role to suite this purpose. RAS, VPN, PPP Tunneling, are all terms and technologies that provide this functionality.

The above poster is either extremely inexperienced or just kidding around. I hope he's just kidding because that advice is horrible.

But you can only click on one word, not a compound word, such as Black Widow spider or Brown Recluse spider. In this case, "spider" is the word on which you would click.
