ITPEC FE Morning October 2022 Question 39

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).
