HTTP Authentication mechanisms

HTTP Basic Authentication:  The username and password are sent to the server without any encryption.

HTTP Digest Authentication: A hash function is applied to the password before it is sent. So more secure than Basi

HTTPS: HTTP + SSL. SSL encrypts all information going over network.

Do I need Digest authentication if already using SSL?
