1010

1111
* **Confidentiality.** The visitor's connection is encrypted, obscuring URLs, cookies, and other sensitive metadata.
12-
* **Authentication.** The visitor is talking to the "real" website, and not to an impersonator or through a "man-in-the-middle".
12+
* **Authenticity.** The visitor is talking to the "real" website, and not to an impersonator or through a "man-in-the-middle".
1313
* **Integrity.** The data sent between the visitor and the website has not been tampered with or modified.
