The cyber crime has left the whole innovation and artificial intelligence in total tatters. To save the websites from security breaches many mark-up languages have born out of the digital weave. HTTP or hypertext transfer protocol has transformed into hypertext transfer protocol security or HTTPS for this cyber intrusion scenario only. The addition of security module to this web browser standardisation has made life easy for the websites and the end users in protecting their data & privacy. The reason for this integration is to prevent tampering of data during data transmittance. It is also secured by a secure a socket like the SSL.
The situation is quite a complicated one on the SEO fronts. The situation has aggravated more because of the announcement by Google that stated that ranking of a website will be depending on its security status. The tech savvy digital thinkers went in quite a fix due to this message.
