Answer 1

Hi

thats depends on the web page sitting

it may use SSL if it is for payments or e-mails

it may use anther form of security if it is for private chat

so there are a lot of ways and depend on webmaster to chose

But for payments and Credit cards it is SSL 128

good luck

Answer 2

SSL



Strictly speaking, https is not a separate protocol, but refers to the combination of a normal HTTP interaction over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection. This ensures reasonable protection from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks.
