Is HTTPS the same as encryption?
HTTPS is HTTP with encryption. The only difference between the two protocols is that HTTPS uses TLS (SSL) to encrypt normal HTTP requests and responses. As a result, HTTPS is far more secure than HTTP. A website that uses HTTP has http:// in its URL, while a website that uses HTTPS has https://.
Are URLs encrypted in HTTPS?

It also completely ignores what happens to the data after HTTPS termination, which may be further out on the edge of your network than you know; at your load balancer for instance:
Which is the best end to end encryption?
End-to-end encrypt data between an app and your data processing server, like we’ve been discussing. End-to-end encrypt data between two users, from one app to another. This is what apps like Signal and WhatsApp are doing for chat and ProtonMail for email.
