Cyber Behaviour Benchmark

Belgium. This is the live view: it changes as people complete the scan, so it is not for quoting.

The question, exactly as 2,719 people saw it

Which of the following statements is accurate regarding HTTP and HTTPS?
HTTPS encrypts the connection; HTTP does not. correct
53%
Neither HTTP nor HTTPS encrypts the connection.
16%
HTTP and HTTPS both encrypt the connection; HTTPS uses a stronger version.
16%
I do not know
15%
The full spread of answers, not just right and wrong. 15% chose "I do not know", which is a different group from the people who confidently picked a wrong answer: one needs teaching, the other needs correcting. Everyone answered in their own language; the English wording is shown here.

What a participant was told

The feedback shown after answering, verbatim:
HTTPS encrypts the connection between your device and the website; HTTP does not. Over HTTP, information such as login details or form data can be intercepted, especially on shared or public networks such as a café or airport. HTTPS protects the connection, not the honesty of the site: a scam site can show a padlock too.
The workgroup wrote these. Showing them beside the national result is how the questionnaire stays theirs.
