The video tutorial explains the basics of HTTP and its widespread use for accessing web pages. It highlights the security risks associated with HTTP, as data is transmitted in clear text, making it vulnerable to hackers. To address these risks, HTTPS was developed, which encrypts data to ensure secure transmission. The video also covers SSL and TLS protocols, which provide encryption and authentication for secure data exchange. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of using HTTPS, as many websites now default to it for security and better search engine rankings.
