Protect: security icons
A website's security level is indicated in the SmartBox using connection status icons.
Icon | Description |
---|---|
![]() | HTTP protocol is in use. |
![]() | Uses the HTTPS protocol, which protects data being sent by encrypting it. Make sure the page header shows this icon before you begin entering confidential information on a website (like your bank card number). |
![]() | Data transfer might not be secure. This icon appears if the page has a form that sends data over the HTTP protocol without encryption, or if Yandex is not familiar with the publisher of the page’s locally-installed certificate, or if images load over an unsecure protocol on a page that loads over HTTPS. |
![]() | Antishock blocked part of the page contents. |
![]() | This page may harm your tablet. The website’s certificate might have expired or been revoked. |
