HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol - Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the protocol that allows us to access websites safely, this protocol seeks to improve security every day due to the data that is transferred through the network, therefore HTTP3 comes as one of the great improvements to HTTP.
HTTP3 is a protocol that will not use the traditional TCP protocol, but will make use of a new protocol called QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) developed by Google, it is a protocol that does not require the exchange of information between the sender and receiver The package and data are encrypted by default with TLS 1.3..
