On June 16, NDSU will secure all www.ndsu.edu Web pages with HTTPS.
HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol for communication between a Web browser and website. HTTPS is used by many banking and commerce websites to protect online transactions involving confidential and sensitive data such as account information, credit card numbers and social security numbers. It also is increasingly used to reassure website visitors of the legitimacy and authenticity of a site.
NDSU plans to move all www.ndsu.edu pages to HTTPS in June to provide a seamlessly secure experience for all site visitors.
The change also may improve the discoverability and visibility of NDSU's website through Google search, and it will position the website for future improvements.
NDSU is the second campus in the North Dakota University System to make a site-wide shift to HTTPS. The North Dakota State College of Science was the first.
