Some sites like paypal or cbank have https:// rather than traditional http:// . So what is that extra 's' for - secure?

What the 's' stands for in the address: 's' - for 'secure' or, 's' - for 'sure, go ahead and log in' 's' - for 'safe' 's' - for 'sign up now and put your payment details in' 's' - for 'suckers forget to look for the "S" ' 's' - for 's'okay, man - we're a secure site' 's' - for 'submit away' Yep, I am sure that it means 'secure' site. Have a great day!
