ITPEC FE Morning October 2022 — Question 39 of 80

HTTPS = HTTP + TLS — TLS encrypts the communication channel.

  • TLS (Transport Layer Security) — encrypts data between client and server; used in HTTPS
  • SHA — a hashing algorithm, not a communication protocol
  • SSH — remote terminal access protocol, not related to HTTPS
  • VPN — virtual private network; tunnels traffic but is not part of HTTPS

Key rule: HTTPS is simply HTTP running over a TLS-encrypted connection (formerly SSL, now TLS).
