About the encryptation of a hidden service

Hello!

I has been experimenting with my Hidden Service the last weeks. At the moment, I doesn't understand the type of encryptation of this kind of channel. I mean, In my server I should active some https to be secure? or with just running at 80 is fine?

Any resource or advice related with this?

Btw, I use axum as server.

EDIT: I study more about it & I find this

+ Onion services' location and IP address are hidden, making it difficult for adversaries to censor them or identify their operators.

+ All traffic between Tor users and onion services is **end-to-end encrypted**, so you do not need to worry about connecting over HTTPS.

+ The address of an onion service is automatically generated, so the operators do not need to purchase a domain name.

+ Because of the cryptography involved, the .onion URL lets Tor ensure that it is connecting to the right location and that the connection is not being tampered with.

There's encryption already thru Tor and how it functions.

You CAN do https/SSL but certificates are difficult to get verified and pricey. It's overkill and not necessary.
