* HTTP is consideres to be unsecure and HTTPS is secure.
* HTTP Works at Application Layer and HTTPS works at Transport Layer.
* In HTTP, Encryption is absent and Encryption is present in HTTPS.
* HTTP does not requie any certificates and HTTPS needs SSL certificates.
both of these are protocols using which the information of a particular website is exchanged between Web Server and Web Browser. But what’s difference between these two? Well, extra s is present in https and that makes it secure! What a difference  A very short and concise difference between http and https is that https is much more secure compared to http.
