In the bustling Kingdom of the Internet, there lived two messengers named "Sir HTTP and Sir HTTPS" Both were fast, clever, and knew every path across the digital realm. And their job is to deliver messages between users and websites.



Sir HTTP was charming and quick, but he had a flaw, he spoke loudly and in public. As he galloped from castle to castle, any eavesdropper could overhear the secrets he carried: passwords, credit card numbers, private letters. He never wore armor, and his letters weren't sealed. It was only a matter of time before bandits and spies started to take advantage.


On the other hand Sir HTTPS, his younger, wiser sibling. He rode the same roads, but with one key difference: he wore a shining suit of encryption armor. His messages were sealed in unbreakable wax, readable only by the intended recipient. Even if thieves tried to intercept him, all they’d see was a scrambled mess.


Sir HTTPS earned the trust of kingdoms far and wide. Banks, doctors, lovers, and secret societies all insisted he be the only messenger they used. In time, even common folk demanded his service, refusing to speak with websites that didn’t have his golden seal of “Secure” stamped beside their name.


Today, Sir HTTP still lingers in some forgotten corners, but most of the digital realm bows to HTTPS, the armored knight who speaks in whispers and rides in confidence.
