How to Enable HTTPS in Spring Boot Application

We will use self-signed certificates in this tutorial

We have been developing Spring Boot apps for a while now and access our endpoints through HTTP protocol.

Let’s go through a few terms and concepts first.

SSL, a.k.a Secure Sockets Layer, is an internet security protocol that establishes security to data in transit between two computer devices.

SSL encrypts the data transmitted between multiple devices, making it nearly impossible to decrypt by bad actors.

SSL certificate is used to identify a server. Clients use this certificate to verify if the server is really who it claims to be.

Clients use the public key from the certificate to encrypt data, and the server uses the private key to decrypt data.

Different authorities provide these certificates, but in this tutorial, we will generate a self-signed certificate, a dummy certificate that is also free.

So now we know that HTTPS is nothing but an HTTP secured with an SSL certificate.
