I have an app that is on both Android & iOS. To encrypt the data that is sent to a PHP script, from the app side of things, is it just a case of adding an “S” to “http://…..” and then everything is encrypted when sent up?
Tried Google but couldn’t find anything related. Thanks.
No you can’t just add an s.
the ‘s’ in https signifies that the connection is secured by TLS (Transportation Layer Security) . This is achieved via authentication using certificates and Public Key Cryptography.
See:

for IOS specific implementations see
