On the local machine, we have generate-data writing to the TCP connection, and consume-data reading from the TCP connection…

How secure is HTTPS today? How often is it attacked? (2011)
This is part 1 of a series on the security of HTTPS and TLS/SSL HTTPS is a lot more secure than HTTP! If a site uses accounts, or publishes material that people might prefer to read in private, the site should be protected with HTTPS. Unfortunately, is still feasible for some attackers to break...

Good (and bad news): the general consensus in the web developer community is that any and every website should be HTTPS by default. Why? HTTP by itself isn't encrypted, leaving it open to eavesdropping, message tampering, and man-in-the-middle attacks. HTTPS, if you use it consistently , prevents these issues.
