HTTPs

HTTPs: Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol (or S-HTTP) is a protocol for transmitting data securely over the World Wide Web. Unlike SSL which creates a secure connection between a client and a server, over which any amount of data can be sent securely, HTTPs is designed to transmit individual messages securely. SSL and HTTPs, therefore, can be seen as complementary rather than competing technologies. See [RFC 2660] for the HTTPs specification

 BCISGNet provides HTTPs using the [Apache] web server which in turn uses the ciphers and functions provided by the [OpenSSL]ibrary to implement the protocol.
